Hi Jane,
You are correct, there are just two Catholic Cemeteries in Richmond. St.
Mary's is still owned and operated by the local Catholic Church St. Mary's.
You can inquire about that cemetery by writing to
The Richmond Catholic Office

rcco(a)richmondcatholiccommunity.com
Or there website is

The St. Mary's Cemetery caretakers name and number is
Stephen Turner
765 962 3930
The St. Andrew's Cemetery is now owned and operated by Earlham Cemetery.
Their address is
Earlham Cemetery
1101 National Road West
Richmond IN 47374
765 962 7712
I live in Centerville, Wayne County IN. My father and a lot of my
relative's/ancestor's, are buried in St. Mary's cemetery. I go there often
to put flowers on my Dad's grave. If you find out where your ancestors
graves are located at I would be glad to take pictures of the stones for you
at either Catholic cemetery. Or if you tell me their names I can look for
them. I have some ancestor's stones I want to go look for now that the
weather is nicer here in Indiana. If they were Italian or Irish heritage
they were most likely buried at St. Mary's. If they are German heritage they
probably are at St. Andrew's.
Let me know If I can help.

Subject: [Wayne Co Ind] cemetery address
I understand that there are two catholic cemeteries in Richmond,
Wayne County, Indiana, St. Andrews and St. Marys. Please
correct me if this info is wrong. Can anyone on this list give me
the addresses of these two cemeteries. I would like to write to
them to see if two of my ancestors are buried in either of them.
Thank you for any assistance. Jane
