Cemetery Rules and Regulations

Our Cemeteries are places of prayer and mediation, monuments to our Faith and witness to life everlasting. Catholic burial is a unique ritual, characterized by rites that express profound spiritual truths. A Catholic funeral acknowledges the dignity of human beings, created in the image and likeness of God, and the inestimable value of each individual soul.

Christian burial is an honor, a privilege and an opportunity for Catholics to be part of a meaningful and dignified observance of the passage of a human life. This Rules and Regulations handbook issued by the Diocese will help ensure that our Catholic cemeteries will continue to be sacred resting places for your loved ones and remain holy, beautiful and quiet.
