Материал из Онлайн справочника
Holy Sepulchre Cemetery is a cemetery in Hayward, California. It is a Catholic cemetery run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland, which also operates the Holy Angels Funeral and Cremation Center at the same location.[1] It was the first Catholic Church-owned funeral home in the U.S.[2]
The cemetery planted 3 acres of vineyards to provide grapes for sacramental wine used by the Oakland Diocese.[2] The wine is bottled at Rockwall Winery in Alameda, which also sources grapes from Holy Cross Cemetery in Antioch, and St. Joseph's Cemetery in San Pablo. The cemetery vineyards are believed to be the only such vineyards in the United States.[3]
