Dear CCA Families,

The Stay at Home order issued by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine this past Sunday has raised many questions regarding which businesses are deemed essential to continue operating amidst the COVID-19 crisis. I want to assure you that the Catholic Cemeteries Association will remain open to serve you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.

Whether you are making at-need arrangements, planning for the future, or seeking bereavement resources, please know that we will find a way to continue our operations, while also assuring the safety of our employees and you, our families.

We have adjusted many of our policies and procedures to fit health guidance set by the CDC and the State of Ohio, and will continue to monitor their guidance and adjust as necessary.

Again, all of our services will still be available to you, though some may be adjusted for added safety measures. You can view our current list of safety updates here.

Please call your cemetery office at 216-641-7575 should you require any service, or have any questions.

I know this is an uncertain time, and uncertainty can be difficult to handle. However, my hope, and the hope of everyone here at the CCA, is that we can be a comforting and helpful resource during this time. I would also encourage you to take this time of social distancing to reconnect with our Heavenly Father, who provides endless comfort and peace.

As Pslam 46:1 states:

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”

May we all trust in God as we navigate through this challenging time.

God bless,

Andrej Lah
