Each person, created in the image and likeness of God, sets out on a faith journey. Our church, and in particular the local Parish, is always present along the way to minister to the traveler’s needs and to celebrate significant milestones in their lives. Catholic cemeteries are an extension of the Parish where those who have worshipped and prayed together in life now await the resurrection of the body in death. Catholic cemeteries are rooted in ancient religious traditions that display a respect for the deceased and a reverence for their physical remains. A core belief which dates back to the birth of Christianity is that there is a direct relationship between Jesus’ death and resurrection and the death and resurrection of the Christian. Catholics believe in life eternal. By choosing a Catholic cemetery, one selects a final resting place that reflects the beliefs and values from life’s personal journey. It is a resting place that is sacred and shared with all fellow pilgrims awaiting the resurrection of the dead and the promise of everlasting life.

St. Joseph Valley Memorial Park's ground was broke in 1929. At that time the area around Route 23 and Grape Road was rugged farmland, five miles from South Bend. As a Memorial Park of 80 acres it has the concept of a park-like environment with only flush bronze memorials. There is an Old English Tower that stands at the gate of entry. As you drive though the Memorial Park you see a wide variety of trees, landscaping and a pond with fountains that captures the park-like atmosphere.

Rest Haven features flat bronze memorials, which were a relatively new idea for cemeteries in 1931 (the first flat bronze memorial for a cemetery was cast in 1927). During WWII, when metals were needed to fight the war, the bronze companies made temporary memorials from asphalt, which were later replaced with bronze memorials after the war. Rest Haven still has one of the temporary markers from that period.
