The Abbey cemetery is divided in two sections with the cement cross functioning as the axis. To the right is the North (‘N’ in site designations, see below) and to the left is the South
(‘S’). Individual grave sites are numbered from the cross to the outer fence lines, with the site nearest the axis being number one. Grave rows are indicated with Roman numerals beginning with
the row farthest back from the cross.
For anyone visiting the cemetery and locating a particular grave, the grid system should allow easy access. For example, N-II-2, the burial site for Fr. Vitus Buresh, OSB, is located by looking to
the right side of the cross (N), the second row from the back (II), and second grave in the row closest to the cross (2).
The Abbey’s community members may be found in the North section of the cemetery. Non-community members may be found in the South section. Community members who were abbots or bishops are buried
at the foot of the cross and designated by an ‘A’ in the grid system.
There are five ways the information is presented in the pages that follow.
(1) Abbey community members in alphabetical order
(2) Abbey community members in chronological order of death
(3) Non-community members in alphabetical order
(4) Non-community members in chronological order of death
(5) All individuals buried in the Abbey cemetery in alphabetical order
