Calvary Catholic Cemetery

“First of all, the director or whatever his official title is, is a very rude, arrogant & overall unpleasant person to deal with. He behaves as if he's the owner & can do whatever he pleases (he's not & he can't, or at least he shouldn't). My family had a bad experience & even while waiting in the office to speak to him, we've heard ugly arguments between him & other customers. At times it's even sounded like they've almost come close to blows. If others are reacting like this to him, that should tell you he's the problem. I was told the Diocese of Laredo is in charge there, but unfortunately they don't seem very willing to hear people out even though apparently there's been other complaints about him. That's too bad because he's giving a bad name to "catholic." They need to replace this person before things get worse. Second, this place is very poorly maintained. It's not cheap to buy a plot there, but they can't manage to fix their streets? Most of them are completely destroyed. You try to go around one pothole only to end up going over another. There's no way to avoid them. When it rains, it's even more of a mess. Also, if you don't trim around the graves of your loved ones or hire someone to do it for you, it takes forever for the groundskeepers to get to it. Oftentimes it's overgrown grass & weeds on many of the blocks. Terrible look. The city cemetery across the street is much better maintained & more affordable; I recommend it over this one.”

“I am incredibly grateful to the team at Calvary Catholic Cemetery, especially Ana Holguin, who went above and beyond to help plan my aunt’s funeral. Despite me living in another state, everything was handled seamlessly over the phone. Ms. Holguin was patient, compassionate, and always quick to respond to my questions, whether by phone or email. The level of care and professionalism was outstanding, making a challenging time much easier. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of thoughtful and reliable support during such moments.”
