Our Lady of Peace offers numerous options for traditional interments. Full-body interment can occur in ground lots or above-ground, either in individual niches or in family estates and mausoleums. With pre-need planning, families can secure burial spaces beside one another, whether in-ground, above-ground, traditional burial, or inurnment.
Ground Burial
Interment grounds at Our Lady of Peace are categorized into several types based on their location and the development of the surrounding area. For example, the highest point in the Memorial Gardens, where three fifty-foot crosses stand, is called the Garden on the Mount. Our walk-garden sections feature path walks for easy access. The Garden of Memory includes our Veterans Monument.
The central gardens honor the Sacred Heart and boast a prominent marble statue of Jesus. They comprise the Garden of Devotion, the Garden of Joy, the Garden of Hope, and the Garden of Love. For convenient navigation, each garden is sectioned into blocks, which are further divided into lots. Burial plots are categorized and priced according to their distance from roads and paths.
In the Sacred Heart Gardens, the lots nearest to these features are labeled as Extra-Special Premium and are the priciest. Lots located further away are designated as Extra-Premium, Premium, and Regular lots.
Family Properties
For families who wanted to be above ground and together in one location, private mausoleums, such as the Family Court Estates, Family Vista Estates, and Holy Family Estates, were developed and quickly sold out.
For families who prefer a combination of in-ground and above-ground options, we offer family properties that feature a mix of burial types, including columbaria.
Veterans
Guam is proud to say that we have the highest per-capita number of veterans in the country. Only specific, qualified veterans and their spouses are eligible for burial at the Guam Veterans Cemetery, with few exceptions. We know that our people are a tight-knit, family-oriented people who want to be placed and memorialized with their loved ones around them.
By planning ahead, families can be interred together in one location at Our Lady of Peace – veteran and non-veteran alike. The truth is, many veterans choose to be buried at our Memorial Gardens not only because of the beauty and tranquility offered in the hills of Southern Guam, but also because many family members are already interred here or do not qualify for burial at the Guam Veterans Cemetery.
Our Lady of Peace features a Veterans Memorial where the names of our veterans can be inscribed. For property owners, arrangements can be made to include the names of beloved veteran family members who are not interred at our Memorial Gardens on our Veterans Memorial.
