Cemetery FAQs
Everything you need to know about cemeteries.
Do I need to contact a cemetery if I’ve already contacted a funeral home?
Yes, we encourage you to also contact CPCA in addition to the funeral home. The funeral home staff are experts in funeral services and the staff at the cemetery are experts in cemetery services. CPCA's Regional Offices will be able to provide you with help and assistance as you're planning or considering products and services for burial.
Are there vaults for cremated remains?
Yes, we offer urn vaults, designed for in-ground burial of cremated remains.
I’ve heard about mausoleum burials - what are the benefits?
People choose mausoleum crypts because they are both clean and dry. They offer a good alternative for those who who prefer to not be interred in the ground.
Are cemeteries running out of space?
Just like other open spaces, cemeteries have been impacted by the sheer number of people on our planet. CPCA can always help you find the space you need, so don’t ever feel that there is not an option to meet your needs. Our parish cemeteries have sufficient space for generations to come.
I’ve heard of Endowment Care - what is it?
In short, Endowment Care refers to the funds that keep the cemetery grounds beautiful and well-kept, ensuring that your loved one's resting place will be taken care of in keeping with the sacred nature of the Catholic cemetery.
