Cemetery Closed
Dear Clients and Friends,
As Hurricane Milton approaches our state, we want to remind everyone to stay safe and take precautions in preparing for the storm.
We expect Tropical Storm/Hurricane conditions with strong winds and possible landfall on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. Milton was centered 700 miles West-southwest of Tampa but the Palm Beaches are within the cone. Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Cemetery will certainly experience winds and rain. Our office may close as early as Tuesday afternoon depending on the conditions and the staff needs to allow our team to prepare for the storm. Our office will be closed on Wednesday October 9, 2024 and Thursday 10/10/2024. The cemetery gates will remain open due to the storm. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you are in the State of Florida we urge you to follow the local news and consider going on to Florida Disaster for additional information https://www.floridadisaster.org/
Thank you for your understanding.
Please stay safe, and may you have a blessed day.
Estimados clientes y amigos,
A medida que el huracán Milton se acerca a nuestro estado, queremos recordarles a todos que se mantengan a salvo y tomen precauciones al prepararse para la tormenta.
Esperamos condiciones de tormenta tropical/huracán con fuertes vientos y posible llegada a tierra el miércoles 9 de octubre de 2024; actualmente se dirige en dirección al área de Tampa, pero Palm Beaches está dentro del cono. El Cementerio Católico Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz seguramente experimentará vientos y lluvia. Nuestra oficina puede cerrar el martes por la tarde dependiendo de las condiciones y las necesidades del personal, para permitir que nuestro equipo se prepare para la tormenta. Nuestra oficina estará cerrada el miércoles 9 de octubre de 2024 y el jueves 10/10/2024. Las puertas del cementerio permanecerán abiertas debido a la tormenta. Pedimos disculpas por cualquier inconveniente que esto pueda causar.

Monthly Mind Mass
Come attend Our Monthly Mind Mass.
These Masses are held on second Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. in the outdoor chapel.
We hold monthly Masses for those laid to rest during the previous month, all of the deceased at Our Lady Queen of Peace Cemetery, and all of the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
Our staff are praying for every family we serve.
May their Memories be eternal!
Please note: Our cemetery will be open for visitation on these days from 6:30 am to 8:00 pm.
The care with which we bury the dead expresses our faith in the victory over everlasting death, which Our Lord Jesus Christ has won in our human nature by His own Death and Resurrection.

Memorialization in a Catholic cemetery
“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.”
– Leonardo da Vinci –
It is our ministerial goal to guide you through what can be a confusing and difficult process. We work to provide you and your loved ones with peace of mind, by assisting you in careful and informed decision making and planning.
This goal is best achieved through pre-planning, rather than at the time of need when financial and practical decision-making may be overshadowed by the realities of grief and urgency.
Please contact our office at (561) 793-0711 and ask to speak with any of our Family Service Advisors.
Consecrated Grounds
The Sacred Grounds of our Lady Queen of Peace Cemetery were Consecrated in 1974 by Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll of Miami. In 1984, This Cemetery became part of the new Diocese of Palm Beach.
Our team strives daily to maintain a peaceful and prayerful atmosphere as a visible symbol of our faith in Jesus Christ and our hope of resurrection.
“There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.”
– Ecclesiastes 3 1: 2
