Mount Mora Cemetery, Saint Joseph

The oldest cemetery in Saint Joseph is full of history. There are many gravesites and family plots throughout, mausoleums that are varied and interesting to see, family names of passers through Saint Joseph on the Westward Expansion and family names of residents from history to present day are all buried here. Lovely carvings and headstones set amongst established trees and green grass make this a restful setting for those who wish to see the sights and for families who are looking for historic locations to visit. Graves are well tended and kept clean of debris, overgrown weeds and underground pests like gophers and moles.

Wow, just wow!! I love cemeteries and saw this one was listed as a must see when in St Joseph. The mausoleums are so beautiful. Any direction you look are gorgeous examples of the unique monument styles of their day. One area resembled a chess board with all the tall ornate stones. A very peaceful place to visit.
