Catholic cemeteries are rooted in ancient religious traditions that display a respect for their physical remains. A core belief which dates back to the birth of Christianity is that there is a direct relationship between Jesus death and resurrection and the death and resurrection of the Christian. Catholic believe in life eternal. Jesus said: I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me will never die (Jn.11:25-26). Just as Christ rose from the dead, He will raise our mortal remains to be like His in glory.
Catholic cemeteries are a constant reminder that death is just a part of the journey that leads to new life. Catholic cemeteries are sacred places that strive to create a religious environment conducive to prayer, reflection and remembrance. Our cemeteries encourage prayerful visitation through the use of statuary, landscaping, architecture and Christian symbolism throughout buildings and by memorialization.
By choosing a Catholic cemetery, one selects a final resting place that reflects the beliefs and values from lifes personal journey. It is a resting place that is sacred and shared with all fellow pilgrims awaiting the resurrection of the dead and the promise of everlasting life.
