Catholics and Cremation


Cremated Remains - The Church teaches that cremated remains should be treated with the same respect given to the corporeal remains of a human body and that the cremated remains of a body should be reverently interred or entombed in a cemetery. Scattering cremated remains, dividing cremated remains, or keeping cremated remains in the home are not considered to be the reverent disposition of the cremated body. It is traditional for Catholics to be laid to rest in a Catholic Cemetery and burial arrangements for cremated remains can be made for any of our cemeteries. While it is preferred that cremation take place after the Funeral Liturgy, please contact your particular parish to determine if cremated remains may be present during the celebration of the Mass of Christian Burial.


Funeral Mass/Christian Burial Permit - Families should contact their parish priest before cremation takes place to discuss arrangements for the Funeral Liturgy (Mass). If a Funeral Mass is not celebrated, or it has been years since, a Christian Burial Permit or letter from the deceased’s parish will be required, stating that the deceased is entitled to burial in a Catholic Cemetery.


Paperwork/Payment - An interment order must be placed with the cemetery to arrange for a date for the interment/entombment. To make certain all necessary paperwork is in order, arrangements for an interment order can be made by telephone, with copies of necessary paperwork faxed or sent special messenger with payment. Payment, interment arrangements, and all paperwork must be completed and received at least one week prior to any scheduled interment date. Payment is accepted by bank check, certified check, money order, or by credit card by visiting any of our cemetery locations. Please contact our office for current opening fees.


Final Paperwork/Acceptance/Transport of Cremated Remains - On the day of the interment/entombment, the cremated body must be brought to the Cemetery by a family member or a funeral director. We will not accept cremated remains forwarded by mail, or from a common carrier. On the day of the interment, the following must be presented at the Cemetery Office:


Please note that the deceased must have a legal right (or authorization from an authorized owner) for interment in the grave, crypt, or niche. Should you have any questions, please call the appropriate office noted above for further assistance.
