BURIAL OPTIONS
Catholic Cemeteries provide a permanent place of remembrance by offering a spiritual and physical environment where families can visit their departed loved ones for generations to come. Whether you are interested in traditional burial or cremation, in-ground or above-ground options, or an indoor or outdoor setting, we have options to fit your needs and preferences.
- Private Estates: Allow for the highest degree of customization. They can typically accommodate the burial of multiple family members and can consist of casket burial, urn burial, or a combination of both. Private Estates allow more freedom of size and design for the monument.
- Grave Plots: Traditional graves that can be memorialized with either a customized upright monument, raised or lawn-level marker.Learn More about In-Ground Burial
