The mission of Mount Pleasant Catholic Cemetery is to fulfill the corporal and spiritual works of mercy to bury and pray for the dead.  Mount Pleasant Catholic Cemetery offers a beautiful and dignified place of rest for our beloved deceased.  Lots are available to both Catholics and non-Catholics, and may be pre-purchased. 

The recently installed columbarium provides a reverential resting place for the deceased who have been cremated. Contact Cemetery Director Joe Gallant at 947-4322 to discuss burial options.

The cemetery office is open at St. Mary's Church M/Tu/Th/F between 9am−2pm.

The Maine Catholic Cemetery Committee, with the support of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, has developed a user-friendly searchable database to locate a loved one buried in one of the 65 Catholic cemeteries in the diocese or to research genealogy.

Information is limited for security reasons, such as identity theft, but the database has all of the basic information. You can even download a map of the cemetery, print it and take it with you to the cemetery to help locate lots.

To access the database, go to Genealogy on the Portland Diocese website. Follow the link to search cemeteries. When the pop-up menu appears, choose from the list of cemeteries. Enter the last name of the deceased. A list will appear of all those buried in the cemetery with the last name, first name and date of death to help narrow your search. Click on the person you are looking for and the information will pop up. Older burials (prior to 1953) may have less information because complete records were not kept prior to that year. If you have information on an individual who was buried prior to that date and you would like to share it, please email: [email protected]. Be sure that any information you forward is accurate and factual.
