Christmas Decoration Program

Albany Diocesan Cemeteries generally offers a Christmas Decoration program with blankets, wreaths and *vases (*in some mausoleums) available for purchase to honor your loved ones interred within our 20 Albany Diocesan Cemeteries. We even do the decorating for you! This program offers a convenient way to honor your loved ones, especially if you live far away!

Thank you to all who placed orders for the 2022 season, and a big thanks to those who donated a little extra to help decorate veteran graves!

 

NEW for 2022: Due to supply and quality issues over the past years, our Christmas wreaths were artificial. Our blankets and vases remained fresh evergreen boughs and sprigs decorated with red poinsettias.

• Menands:  St. Agnes
• Niskayuna:  Most Holy Redeemer
• Rotterdam:  Sts. Cyril and Method, Holy Cross
