Corner of Rathbun Street & Diamond Hill Road
Woonsocket RI 02895

Largest cemetery in Woonsocket. Maintained by Precious Blood Church. Large portion of cemetery is in Blackstone, MA, although it is considered to be a Woonsocket cemetery.

The 51^st Governor of Rhode Island, Aram Jules Pothier is buried here and has the largest mausoleum on the property.

In August of 1955 the area was hit by two category 1 hurricanes. Much of the area was flooded due to the amount of rain that flooded the river that wraps around the back part of the cemetery and other bodies of water around of area. This caused the cemetery to flood in witch caused more then 50 caskets to surface and took with the current of the water and floated away. Some caskets traveled into the streets of the city while others went out to sea never to be seen again. Many remains were brought to the mausoleum of the cemetery after the two storms, where the remains were reburied and new headstones were made and in addition some needed new caskets.
