Cremation Services
Catholic Mortuaries recognizes that cremation is a personal choice for many families. The Order of Christian Funerals strongly prefers that cremation take place after the full Funeral Liturgy with the body present. However, when this is not possible, the Funeral Mass may be celebrated in the presence of the cremated remains of the deceased, subject to conditions determined by the Archdiocese. Catholic Mortuaries offers a complete range of cremation packages that are specially designed to complement traditional Catholic funeral rites and observances.
