Calvary Cemeteries occupies one hundred and thirty-six acres of gently rolling parkland. It is situated on Whittier Boulevard, just fifteen minutes from the heart of the city. Prominent among Calvary's many features are the Stations of the Cross. Admirably executed in natural stone, the outdoor Stations are placed at intervals along the main drive. People pray the Stations every Sunday in Lent and during the month of November. All Souls Chapel, built in 1902, is an ornate Gothic church with a gabled tower and spire — a replica of a beautiful rural parish church in Buckinghamshire England. Built in 1902, All Souls Chapel became, for many years, one of the most visited houses of worship in Southern California. Many local clergy are buried nearby. Calvary’s main mausoleum was completed in 1936 and is an imposing shrine with beautiful stained glass, hand-painted ceilings, and other artworks. Inside are a main chapel and private family chapels. Calvary is unique among local cemeteries in offering daily Mass — at 8:30 a.m. every day except Sundays and holy days of obligation. Crypts are available in Our Lady's Garden and Gethsemane Mausoleums. Mausoleum entombment is an ancient Catholic tradition, yet also an ideal modern method of laying the dead to rest. Jesus himself was entombed in the stone sepulcher of Joseph of Arimathea. The catacombs, which were the first Catholic cemeteries, were also mausoleums.
Calvary Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles runs in the community of East Los Angeles. It is also called "New Calvary Cemetery" because it succeeded the original Calvary Cemetery (on north Broadway), over which Cathedral High School was built.HistoryOld CalvaryWhen Los Angeles was originally surveyed and mapped under the leadership of Gen. Edward Ord in 1849; its graveyard was at the upper end of Eternity Street. At the lower end of Eternity was the first church in Los Angeles, the Placita. In between lay a part of town flanked by adobe houses, citrus trees, and Coast Live Oaks suitable for traditional funeral processions escorting believers to eternity. The land allotted to the cemetery lay between a creek a half block north of College Street and the toma (withy dam) beyond the northern edge of town. That cemetery was named Calvary.All the important magnates of the country around Los Angeles were buried at Calvary, such as Gen. Andrés Pico, the hero of the Battle of San Pascual, and Don Abel Stearns, a man of many ranchos. The ravine sloping down from the west took its name; it was called "Cemetery Ravine" (now Chavez Ravine, home of Dodger Stadium). Later, a Protestant cemetery for Los Angeles was laid out atop Fort Hill, where Grand Arts High School and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels are now.
