Stones and Bones Ep. 17 - Holy Cross Cemetery

Catholics trace their cemetery history all the way back to the first disciple being buried. They chose to bury their lost close to their churches in anticipation of the resurrection of believers. These early churchyards were referred to as "dormitories" of rest. Catholic cemeteries were open for burial to only Catholics and since they were considered consecrated ground, Catholics who didn't meet the mark couldn't be buried in them, like criminals. Holy ​Cross ​Cemetery ​is located ​in ​Culver ​City, ​California and there are many celebrities who made this their final place of rest from Bing Crosby to Rita Hayworth to Bela Lugosi to John Candy and Catherine O'Hara. Join us for the stones and bones here.
