Offering a dignified and graceful burial in keeping with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and offering pastoral care to the family and friends of the deceased
"Your Family’s Place in a Sacred Space"
When we are baptized, we are brought to a sacred place, a Catholic Church, and baptized into the mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection – thus giving us the promise of eternal life. When a loved one dies, we take them to another sacred place, a Catholic cemetery, while they await the resurrection of the dead and the promise of eternal life. Burial in a Catholic cemetery is a statement of continued belief in that everlasting life promised by Jesus when he said, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die…” (Jn. 11:25)
The ministry of the New Orleans Catholic Cemeteries is to provide people of all faiths a graceful and dignified burial in keeping with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to offer pastoral care to the family members and friends of the deceased
We offer mausoleum crypts, niches for cremated remains, tombs, granite headstones, engraving, restoration, vases, flowers, and perpetual care. Find out more at http://nolacatholiccemeteries.org/planning-ahead or http://nolacatholiccemeteries.org/memorialization-1
