Gethsemane Cemetery

About

The Catholic cemetery is the final resting place for the members of our Faith Community on our Journey to God.

Description

Gethsemane Cemetery was developed in the early 1970s and was officially dedicated by Archbishop Thomas Connolly, Archbishop of Seattle, in May 1975 to serve the Catholic faith community of South King and North Pierce Counties.

The property was originally purchased in 1888 for use as a Catholic Indian Mission School. When the school closed, the property was deeded to the Diocese (now Archdiocese) of Seattle.

Gethsemane Catholic Cemetery is a sacred space, a place of prayer and quiet reflection that invites us to remember all those “who have gone now before us marked with the sign of faith.”



"Gethsemane Cemetery is a Catholic cemetery that is a sacred place of prayer and reflection on those “who have gone now before us marked with the sign of faith.” They work hard to align with the Catholic belief that ashes are to be buried in a cemetery after cremation. The cemetery planning team can help you make arrangements for an urgent need or pre-planning services to reserve your cemetery lot for the whole family. Stop by and visit Gethsemane Cemetery at 37600 Pacific Hwy S Federal Way, WA 98003. The cemetery professionals are ready to walk you through the process so that you can decide on the best burial and memorial options. You can call to discuss the options over the phone."

First, my Parents purchased their “top & bottom” plots in 2002. When my Father died 2 months ago, we found out that the original plot was only for one casket. This forced our Family to offer my Mother many different solutions. Ultimately, we decided to move their plots to an entirely different section where they can be buried “side by side.” Second, no one told us that this new area would not be able to have an upright headstone. After much back & forth, we were forced to choose a flat marker. Third, I was told twice that we needed to order the flat marker directly from them. After my Mother paid $2550 for a small marker, we decided to increase the size and add details such as photos. The changes quickly rose to an additional $2400. They had no price sheet to send to me so I decided to do research. I asked again, one last time, and by email, to confirm that we could not order outside of the cemetery. The answer was different this time. The dishonesty was not appreciated. You CAN order from outside, and for a much lesser cost; for a flat fee and with unlimited changes. Please do research and ask many questions. They are nice people but a Family in mourning, can be easily taken advantage of, especially by those who see this as a business.
I just came from this cemetery. My mom has been there for 10 years. This last year has been hard on my family overall with cancer etc. and I couldn’t go as often. At Christmas the flowers Christmas tree and little crèche were vandalized … thrown by the workers against a tree. The baby Jesus was never found. No one knew who did it even though there was a funeral next to moms grave. Today we went to pick up the 4th of July flag, flowers and decorations…well within the allotted time …and they were all gone. Fred … the manager .. kept saying he didn’t know. HE was the person that told me originally we could put these things out. All he said was The workers know they are not to take anything off within the week of the holiday. Basically to bad so sad. He has no customer service ability. It’s just a business that allows him to put gas in his Mercedes. During the first 5 years we had several expensive plants stolen…every week. During these last 5 years we were told artificial flowers were fine. Today he recanted this. We looked around and took at least a dozen pics of graves with artificial flowers. And American flags. Who steals an American flag off someone’s grave ? If I could afford it I would move my mom. She doesn’t deserve such disrespect.
Warning to people who decides to put up their own cemetery ground vase in Gethsemane Cemetery. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! We had a painful experience that will stick with the family forever. Our big mistake: we decided to buy vase outside of Gethsemane, set it up for Memorial Day for my Mom and Dad in good conscience as an expression of love and honor to our parents. After enjoying it for two weeks we were horrified to find out that the 2 vases were gone and we even brought a bunch of flowers. We were angry that someone must have stolen the vases - until we called the Gethsemane office and found out that THEY REMOVED THE VASES WITHOUT TELLING US. We were flatly told without any apology that they don't allow digging and it's their cemetery. Just wondering what domain we have after owning the lot for 7 years. A simple call before they make their action to reiterate our mistake will suffice. Instead, WE FELT DISRESPECTED AND UNIMPORTANT. A very disappointing feeling knowing with peace of mind. that we chose a Catholic cemetery to have a final resting place for our beloved parents. May the Lord fill our hearts with love and forgiveness.
Today is my Mothers birthday.She was a Leap Year baby..The stone with my mother and fathers name and picture was missing from their Niche where their ashes are.. The Company took it out to do some work on the wall..My 6 siblings and I are very upset..Why not work on it, but put it back , even if they are not done with the project??? They did NOT contact the Family about their renovation plans. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS!!!! SO inconsiderate..I talked to the superintendent.. Then i asked for his supervisor to call me on Monday... He was giving me the runaround. Something about he was here only 7 years. WE DO NOT want to hear some * life history*!!I asked him how he would feel if this happened to him..The guy has a power trip..HE SHOULD BE FIRED!!!! Needless to say....these people are heartless! Just a business to them...SHAME ON THEM!!!!..I will complain to the Archdioces of Seattle!!!!
This is the worst place ever, very bad maintained, they never cut my moms grass until we complain about it several times. we’ve had to cut the grass on our own. The people here are absolutely no help!! they put no interest in anything. Our things we bring disappear all the time they literally throw my moms flowers and take the vases. I regret having my mom here.
These folks have been wonderful about everything from arranging the graveside services Making headstones,picture for it. Since mom passed away in 2016 and dad in 2020 they have been terrific about everything, even the ground keepers dropped what they were doing and came to help us out
Hope the thieves experience what they should for desecrating the dead no good
Good costumer service,information
