Grove Cemetery was dedicated in August 1854 after existing town cemeteries proved insufficient for a growing population. Originally privately owned, it is now run by the town (Dept of Public Works as Holden has no cemetery commission). The stone Memorial Chapel was added in 1925. Grove Cemetery abuts Saint Mary's Cemetery, which opened in 1867 next to the church (which has since been relocated). It is estimated that between 3600-4000 individuals have been interred at this cemetery.
