Plan Your Burial in Advance: Honor Your Wishes while Easing Loved Ones’ Burden

Throughout your life, you’ve thoughtfully planned important milestones—your education, career, home, family, and retirement. Planning your burial should be no different. By making these decisions now, you can spare your loved ones from having to navigate these choices during a difficult time.

At Catholic Cemeteries, we are here to replace uncertainty with clarity. We’ll provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions, dispelling myths and offering the facts.

For example, did you know that since 1963, the Catholic Church has allowed cremation? Cremains can be interred in an existing grave or a new plot. You might also choose a family estate, a private or community mausoleum, or a columbarium at one of our nine cemeteries.

Our Family Advisors are here to walk you through all your burial options, helping you make choices that reflect your wishes. From selecting a memorial marker to personalizing its inscription, we guide you with care and respect at every step.

Making these decisions now, with the correct information, allows you to choose what’s best for you and brings peace of mind knowing everything is thoughtfully arranged.
