Divine Mercy keeps several cemeteries under perpetual care. Maintaining a sacred place for the repose of deceased loved ones is an important duty of the Church. Our hope in the bodily resurrection of every person at the second coming of Christ, just as he was raised on Easter Sunday, informs our care and honor given to the body, even after death.

The parish's cemeteries include:

• Calvary Cemetery, Algona
• St. John the Baptist Cemetery, Bancroft
• St. Joseph Cemetery, St. Joseph
• Sacred Heart Cemetery, Ledyard
• St. Joseph Cemetery, Wesley
• Sts. Peter and Paul Cemetery, West Bend
• St. Michael Cemetery, Whittemore
• St. Benedict Cemetery, St. Benedict

         
A Catholic cemetery is a sacred place, it is holy ground where the body rests until it is reunted with the soul at resurrection.  It is a place where we pray for the dead and reflect on hope of eternal life.

We are committed to the perpetual care of Divine Mercy Parish Cemeteries out of respect for the persons who have died and to provide a peaceful environment for family and friends.

To preserve the integrity and sacredness of these cemetery grounds, and to promote order, safety, and beauty, we request your cooperation in the rules and regulations established.  Those rules and regulations are available at the link below.
