Sitting at 67 acres in Westbury NY. Holy Rood serves the Catholic faithful in Nassau County. The oldest part of Holy Rood was originally the burial grounds of Saint Brigid’s Cemetery, which was founded in 1856. Initially established by the Diocese of Brooklyn, Holy Rood was transferred to the Diocese of Rockville Centre when the Diocese was established in 1956. Cemetery of the Holy Rood offers a variety of burial options in indoor and outdoor settings. Holy Rood has an ample inventory of entombment crypts and cremation niches in Holy Rood Chapel Mausoleum for families to consider. In addition, Holy Rood has a limited number of gravesites available for those interested in traditional in-ground burials. Along with St. Vincent De Paul charitable burials that Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island performs at all locations, Holy Rood is home to the Island of Hope. Tim Jaccard and his Children of Hope Foundation provide a hero’s funeral to babies that have been abandoned, with burials taking place in this Island of Hope. These examples differentiate Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island and exemplify the Catholic Mission by celebrating our Catholic Identity. We invite you to join us for regularly scheduled monthly Masses and events at Holy Rood. Special events held annually include Stations of the Cross on Good Friday and Christmas Ornament Masses each December.
