Why Catholic Cemeteries Are Unique
Catholic Cemeteries are deeply rooted in the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church, serving as sacred grounds for the burial of loved ones. Reflecting the doctrine and liturgy of the Church, they offer protection under Church law, ensuring permanence, reverence, and respect for the deceased.
These cemeteries hold profound significance as places of prayer and devotion for the faithful departed. Through their existence and care, they affirm the sanctity of human life, embody the belief in resurrection, and serve as symbols of faith, hope, and solace.
To assist with any questions regarding the funeral service itself, we provide a Guide to Catholic Funeral Rites and Services for parishioners to reference when planning services.
For additional assistance, we offer a Funeral Planning Sheet.
Our Cemetery Coordinator can assist you in arranging spiritual readings and Mass Burials through our Pastoral Administrator. Additionally, our Music Director can provide hymnals and compositions for the ceremony. These services are intended to ensure that your loved one's next journey is both spiritual and honored.
