Cremation Burial Options

All of our Catholic cemeteries have graves for the burial of ashes, as well as outdoor and/or indoor niches for the placement of cremation urns.
 
For Catholics Choosing Cremation

Many Catholics are unaware that the Church has accepted cremation since 1963. Since that time, the practice has increased in many countries for a number of reasons. Unfortunately, with this increase comes practices that require clarification.

Following the most ancient Christian tradition, the Church asks that the faithful, in preparing their funeral and burial arrangements, ensure that the bodies of Catholics are buried in cemeteries or other sacred places.

 

Cremation Columbaria

Columbaria are granite structures with niches where urns with ashes may be placed. A bronze plaque and a memorial photo ceramic is attached to the niche to memorialize a loved one.

Cremation Niches in Mausoleums

Indoor niches are available in all of our mausoleums. Marble, granite, as well as glass front niches are available in either single or double spaces.

Cremation Graves and Family Plots

Another option for those choosing cremation is ground burial of the urn with ashes in a cremation grave or a family lot.
