Calvary Cemetery - Tumwater Washington

This cemetery is located along Cleveland Avenue SE just south of North St SE. Three cemeteries are at this location. The Masonic Memorial Cemetery is to the North and Odd Fellows is next. Calvary Catholic Cemetery is the farthest south. A tall hedge running east to east divides the Odd Fellows Cemetery and Calvery Cemetery. The western edge of Calvary Cemetery is approximately even with the western end of the hedge.

Directions to Masonic, Oddfellows and Calvary Catholic Cemeteries at Tumwater WA
Exit I-5 at Trosper Rd exit. Go east 1/2 block to Capital Blvd SW turn left on Capital Blvd and go about 1/2 mile to light at Custer Way SE. Turn right on Custer and go about 1/2 block to Cleveland Ave SE. Turn right on Cleveland. (Custer Way SE becomes North St SE at this intersection).

The Masonic Cemetery is at the southeast corner of Custer Way/North St and Cleveland Ave SE. Travelling south Odd Fellows Cemetery is next and Calvary Cemetery is the furtherest south. Calvary Cemetery can be entered from the driveway to the Odd Fellows office or at a driveway at the most southern side.

The office at the Oddfellows Cemetery does not have the records for the Calvary Cemetery. They are held by St Michael's Parish at Olympia.
