About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The "Cremains Garden" is located next to the statue of Saint Francis of Assisi in the front courtyard of Saint Maria Goretti Catholic Church. This site utilizes what is called "ashes to earth", where the ashes are taken out of the container and poured into a prepared plot, which we cover over with topsoil. Cremains are not divided into individual graves. However, a plaque located on the inside of the church sanctuary, lists the individual names for each of the faithfully departed.

Additional Note: Cremation has been allowed by the Catholic Church since 1963. Per the Catholic Church, cremated remains are not allowed to be spread on the ground or to the wind as is done at some Cremains Gardens. Ashes in containers of any kind, according to Texas state law, must be buried in a zoned cemetery.
