Holy Sepulchre Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery in Rochester, New York. Its original parcel was purchased in 1871 under Rochester’s first bishop, the Most Reverend Bernard J. McQuaid. The cemetery’s charter was granted by the State of New York in 1872 and a Board of Trustees was formed with Bishop McQuaid serving as its chairman.

Lake Avenue transects this 340-acre cemetery. The west section is located between Dewey Avenue to the west and Lake Avenue to the east. The original east section of the cemetery is situated between the Genesee River to the east and Lake Avenue to the west. The neighboring Riverside Cemetery, operated by the City of Rochester, is also located between the Genesee River and Lake Avenue and is immediately north of Holy Sepulchre’s east section.
