The Catholic Cemeteries Association meets the needs of families, individuals, and parishes surrounding the death of a loved one.

In providing a consecrated place for burial, we treat the human body with dignity and respect after death, and offer an environment which encourages frequent visitation with attendant prayer for the deceased, an environment in which love is remembered and faith is awakened and strengthened.

We serve as a symbol of the extended community of the Church – a community unbroken by death – and celebrate the death and resurrection of the Lord, which offer to us the promise of eternal life.
