Saint Thomas Cemetery is closely connected to the history of Saint Thomas Church, which was incorporated in 1868 and has served the Catholic community of Thomaston for more than 150 years. As the Catholic population of the area grew during the nineteenth century, a dedicated Catholic cemetery became an important part of parish life, providing a sacred resting place for generations of parishioners and their families,
Today, Saint Thomas Cemetery stands as a testament to the faith, sacrifices, and perseverance of the men and women who helped build the Catholic community in Thomaston. Walking among the graves, visitors encounter the names of families whose lives helped shape the town and parish for generations.
The cemetery is carefully maintained to provide a respectful and prayerful environment for families visiting loved ones. Saint Thomas Cemetery also offers columbarium niches for the interment of cremated remains.
