Not-for-profit organization helping Greater Cincinnati families plan their final arrangements and commit loved ones to the peace of our Lord since 1843.
In March 1843, the bishop of Cincinnati entrusted to a group of German Catholics, the duty of providing a proper Catholic burial for Catholics in the German Catholic congregations of Cincinnati.
The Society began with 19.22 acres at West Eighth Street and Enright in Price Hill. From this small beginning over 166 years ago, the legacy of sacred trust continues today as the Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery Society (CCCS).
Today, the Society's mission remains the same, to preserve, protect and to provide a means for proper Catholic burial and the maintenance of burial property for all Catholic congregations of the Cincinnati area.
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
John 14:3
The Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery Society has been helping families prepare such a place for more than eight generations. We invite you to learn more than you thought you would ever care to know about the fascinating, sobering and ultimately comforting topic of burial and remembrance.
As Catholic Cemeterians, we strive to make sure:
- Every Catholic in the Cincinnati area has the opportunity for burial in the consecrated grounds of a Catholic cemetery.
- Loved ones will never have to worry about the care and maintenance of the burial space.
- Our grounds staff and office personnel are dedicated to the respect of all who enter our cemetery gates.
- Catholic committal services can be conducted in a proper religious setting.
