The large number of cemeteries was the basis for the fictitious "Seven Holy Tombs" area in several books by author John R.

[1] As is typical of the area, the cemetery is bordered on all sides by major roads and is surrounded by commercial and residential zones.

Dedicated by Cardinal Bernardin in 1993, the Mausoleum features life-size statues of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.

Each statue sits in the midst of a small park-like setting, with private seating areas and marble lined halls.

[citation needed] Holy Sepulchre Cemetery was consecrated on July 4, 1923, on the site of the Worth racetrack, which was demolished in 1911.
