Honor Your Loved Ones: Give Them a Dignified Resting Place & Find Closure

If you have held onto your loved one's cremated remains for three months or longer, our Open House events offer the perfect opportunity to provide them with the dignified resting place they deserve. Catholics believe in interring cremains in a sacred space, like a chapel mausoleum or traditional cemetery space, which also allows families a designated location to grieve, heal, and pray, surrounded by the beauty of liturgical art.

Meet with our caring Memorial Planning Advisors to learn how simple it is to inter your loved one's cremated remains in one of our mausoleums or cemeteries.
