GPS Coordinates: 39.0904700, -86.5173900
This cemetery is located on Fairfax Road next to the All Saints Antiochian Orthodox Church. It is a newer cemetery, having been founded in 2007. It is a nice setting with only 15 burials. The property is located on the site of where the old Rooftop Quarry was once located. Several trails weave around behind the church and lead to spots where there are still small quarry ponds. There are even some ruins of old quarry buildings.
The Rooftop Quarry is best known for its appearance in the iconic 1979 movie "Breaking Away". But, due to safety concerns and years of trespassing, the quarry was made inaccessible in 2018. Now, whether or not it was filled in or just made harder to get to is the question. Regardless, it is a dangerous area, located on private property belonging to the Indiana Limestone Company and the Church.
As far as the cemetery is concerned, I did not take any photos of the graves out of respect for the living relatives. I did, however, feel that a general photo and an entry on my blog was a good idea, just for reference.
