The cherished Catholic funeral tradition and burial in the consecrated ground among fellow believers represent the final expression of our faith as Catholics. It is the sacred right, privilege, and calling of every Catholic.
Catholic cemeteries have been integral to Southern California since the Spanish Missions. Today, eleven cemeteries actively serve the members of our Archdiocese, connecting us with our history and Christian ancestry.
Catholic mortuaries are within six cemeteries, providing high-quality funeral home services tailored to Catholic traditions. They offer traditional rites, memorial services, graveside ceremonies, pre-planning options, and personalized tributes to honor the deceased's life and faith.
Catholic Cemeteries and Mortuaries a Ministry of the Church Serving the Faithful.
Catholic Cemeteries are among the oldest ministries of the church. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles currently operates eleven Catholic Cemeteries and six Catholic Mortuaries throughout the five Pastoral Regions of the Archdiocese serving Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties.
