Options for the Cremated Body

St. Charles / Resurrection

The choice of cremation should be a sensitive one that celebrates our Catholic beliefs and values, including all the Rites of the Funeral Liturgy. The cremated body should be treated with the same respect as any other final remains, including the decision for final burial or entombment. For more information, please visit our Catholics and Cremation information page.

Catholic Cemeteries offers a wide range of reverent burial/entombment options to provide your loved one with a reverent and dignified resting place, one allowing for permanent memorialization as a lasting tribute to their life, and a place for healing and reflection.

Options include in-ground burial, niche entombment in an outdoor garden setting, exterior community mausoleum niches, and indoor community mausoleum niches having either marble or glass niche fronts.

There is a choice of selection to accommodate each individual family’s desires and financial arrangements.
