The cherished Catholic Funeral Tradition and burial in consecrated ground among fellow believers is the final expression of our faith as Catholics. It is the sacred right, privilege, and calling of every Catholic. Catholic Cemeteries have played a vital role in Southern California since the Spanish Missions. Today, eleven cemeteries and six mortuaries serve the members of our Archdiocese, each connecting us with our history and Christian ancestry. And because they are a responsibility of the church, Catholic Cemeteries & Mortuaries ensure a high level of care that will endure long after that of cemeteries under private or commercial auspices. Catholic Mortuaries are conveniently located within cemetery grounds, allowing families high-quality, full-service funeral home facilities with a selection of nearby burial options in sacred spaces.

“To come out of this crisis better, we have to recover the
knowledge that as a people we have a shared destination.
The pandemic has reminded us that no one is saved alone.
What ties us to one another is what we commonly call solidarity.”
-Pope Francis
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.
“In this time of trial, I entrust us all to the maternal care and intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe.”
