Calvary Cemetery in San Francisco was consecrated in 1860 by the first Archbishop of San Francisco, Joseph Sadoc Alemany.[3]Шаблон:Rp Nearly thirty years later, Cavalry had nearly reached its capacity and Alemany's successor, Patrick William Riordan, purchased Шаблон:Cvt of land in nearby San Mateo County.[4]Шаблон:Rp Alemany's successor, Patrick William Riordan, blessed the initial Шаблон:Cvt Holy Cross site on June 3, 1887, as the first cemetery in Colma.[3]Шаблон:Rp The first burials were conducted on June 7; Timothy Buckley's funeral carriage arrived just before Elizabeth Martin's.[5] That year, the Southern Pacific Railroad completed a branch track to Holy Cross.[6] The Holy Cross site was deliberately left unconsecrated because of the possibility the cemetery may be relocated again.[3]Шаблон:Rp The site now covers Шаблон:Cvt.[4]Шаблон:Rp

The Old Lodge Building, used as offices, were completed in 1902 to a design by Frank and William Shea, across Mission from the main entrance to the cemetery (1595 Mission Road); they also designed the stone-topped cemetery entry gates. These structures feature sandstone fascia in the Richardsonian Romanesque Revival style.[4]Шаблон:Rp It is nicknamed "McMahon's Station" after a hotel built by the brothers Owen and Patrick McMahon at the same site, which was destroyed by fire in January 1894,[7] rebuilt,[8] and destroyed again by fire in September 1897.[3]Шаблон:Rp[9] Additional offices were completed in 1956, east of El Camino Real.[4]Шаблон:Rp

The large mausoleum at Holy Cross was designed by John McQuarrie and dedicated on March 28, 1921 by Archbishop Edward Joseph Hanna. It has been expanded since its opening and contains room for 40,000 crypts, covering Шаблон:Cvt.[3]Шаблон:Rp The Archbishops of San Francisco are interred in crypts within the mausoleum's rotunda.[3]Шаблон:Rp There are two smaller mausoleums on the site: All Saints, in the property's south corner (near Lawndale and Mission) and Saints Peter and Paul, a garden court (outdoor mausoleum) near the north corner.[3]Шаблон:Rp

After the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a measure in March 1900, banning future burials within city limits effective August 1, 1901, the development of Colma as the city's necropolis began in earnest, eventually culminating in the eviction of the existing cemeteries.[3]Шаблон:Rp Many of the people interred at the Catholic Calvary Cemetery were reburied between 1937 and 1945 at Holy Cross in a project to relocate graves outside of the city.[10][11] There is a memorial sculpture at Holy Cross erected in 1993 to mark the moved remains,[3]Шаблон:Rp which features three crosses and reads: "Interred here are the remains of 39,307 Catholics moved from Mt. Calvary Cemetery in 1940 and 1941 by order of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Rest in God's Loving Care."[12]

After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, it was estimated that Шаблон:Frac of the monuments at Holy Cross were toppled or thrown askew, including large ornamental stone balls atop the entry gates.[3]Шаблон:Rp The subsequent 1957 Daly City earthquake damaged the cemetery again.[3]Шаблон:Rp

A Googie-styled circular Receiving Chapel complex was designed by Frank W. Trabucco[13] and completed in 1963; it contains five separate chapels, each decorated with murals by Thomas Lawless. The current chapel replaced an older chapel at the same site, completed in 1914.[3]Шаблон:Rp

Two of the cemetery sequences from the film Harold and Maude, in which Harold attends the funerals of strangers and meets Maude, were filmed at Holy Cross[14] in Sections T[15] and J;[16] the Mausoleum and Hillside Boulevard gate also appear in the film.[17] Additional sequences were filmed at nearby cemeteries in Colma and San Bruno, including Cypress Lawn, Woodlawn,[3]Шаблон:Rp and Golden Gate National Cemetery.[18]
