Gethsemane Cemetery was developed in the early 1970's and was officially dedicated by Archbishop Tho
mas Connolly, Archbishop of Seattle, in May 1975 to serve the Catholic faith community of South King and North Pierce Counties. The property was originally purchased in 1888 for use as a Catholic Indian Mission School, St. George School. Much has changed over the years. Gethsemane Cemetery is a sacred place, a place of prayer and quiet reflection that invites us to remember all those “who have gone now before us marked with the sign of faith.” Gethsemane offers a wide array of burial options for both traditional casket burial as well as cremation placement. The grounds offer views of Mt. Rainier as well as the forested areas of the cemetery. Undeveloped acreage at the cemetery is home to small wildlife. We invite you to contact Gethsemane for a personalized tour and the opportunity to have your questions answered.
