St. Michael’s of the Valley Cemetery January, 2025
A non-profit corporation located adjacent to the church, St. Michael’s of the Valley Cemetery was founded in 1958 for the reverent burial of members of the parish and others in the community with the intent of retaining the simplicity and natural beauty of the countryside. The cemetery is under the direction and control of a Board of Directors consisting of seven directors, one of whom is the rector of St. Michael’s.
If you have any questions regarding the cemetery, its history, operation, or how to purchase a burial site, please contact the Cemetery Board President, Mick Pompelia, at mpompelia@gmail.com
The cemetery has been supporting St. Michael’s and our surrounding community for 65 years. The Board is in the process of implementing some long-deferred maintenance activities and projects to enhance the appearance of the cemetery. Repairing the road, addressing drainage issues, and landscaping are just some of the items to be addressed. To finance these activities, the cemetery began a fund-raising campaign in September, 2023. We are grateful to those who have contributed and ask those who might be interested in supporting the cemetery to prayerfully consider making a donation. The cemetery is a tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code, and donations are deductible for federal income purposes.
