Calvary Cemetery Association of Dayton Ohio

The Calvary Cemetery Association is an Ohio not-for-profit corporation founded by Dayton's catholic community in 1872. A volunteer board of trustees, representing the catholic parishes within the Dayton deanery, governs the association.reverence for the past and commitment to the future is our sincere mission at Calvary Cemetery. It may be a comfort and assurance to you to know that Calvary has placed 33.3% of proceeds from each lot sale into an endowed care fund since its inception and continues to do so today. This ensures that Calvary will be able to care for this sacred property long into the future. By comparison, Ohio law requires "for profit cemeteries" to place only 10% of their proceeds into this type of fund. Thus Calvary exceeds the Ohio law requirement by over three times. We are grateful for the tremendous vision and wise planning that our forefathers have passed down to the community. The rolling hills of Calvary are a beautiful and peaceful setting for a Cemetery and will serve the needs of many future generations of Dayton area families.as you continue your visit through our website, we hope you find it helpful in making important decisions you and your family will need to make when you feel the time is right.
