Wonderful grounds and such a friendly staff. Whenever I visit my family and friends the grounds are so finely kept and when visiting during Autumn is so majestic.

St. Jo's has been serving my family and inlaws for generations. During the bereavement of my late husband's death last October, they were kind and professional, and they coordinated with our funeral home beautifully. Michael and I had a sentimental reason for choosing the plots where we did in the cemetery. I highly recommend.

My parents were one of the first ones buried in Resurrection Catholic Cemetery and I have since buried my husband in June. I'm very blessed to have a wonderful resting place for my family members. Amen

Steve was very patient as he accommodated our family members during an obviously stressful time. His calmness and self-effacing humor were definitely appreciated. The extensive, rolling grounds of the cemetery were much nicer than just the small plot of land that compose many cemeteries. We were able to pick spots in the back of the cemetery on a hillside facing south to the sun. This setting will allow for many visits of quiet reflection of our loved ones.

I've had such peaceful experiences since I was a young girl attending funerals at St.Jo's. Along with my family, many St. John the Baptist members & countless extended family & friends rest here for their journey home. St. Joseph brings a sense of "its gonna be ok" out of the loss & despair for our loved one's 🙏😇🤍

My family (Merz) is laid to rest there. My Mother loved the place as both Mother and Father very Devote Catholics. Staff is great and everything very well kept. I would recommend to everyone in the Catholic faith. Very much history there. Thank you St Josephs...

Attended a funeral in the chapel located on the grounds of the Cemetery. This is the first time attending a service at this chapel, and I must say that it was very intimate catholic service.

A nice Catholic cemetery close to downtown Columbus. Well manicured lawn and an overall well maintained cemetery. It is very quiet and park like. Not as grand of a cemetery as Green Lawn but it is still worth a visit. Some very pretty statues on the head stones. I've driven by this cemetery for thirty years and today was my first visit. I am glad I finally visited.
