Come see our latest mausoleum at St. Charles Cemetery. This beautiful modern community mausoleum contains a variety of crypts and cremation niches. It has beautiful statuary and stained glass windows.
Catholics and Cremation
Due to the changing trends in funeral practices, the Bishops of New York State have prepared this document to answer common questions regarding the important elements of Church teaching concerning cremation. The responses are consistent with the U.S. Bishops’ “Order of Christian Funerals” and “Reflections on the Body, Cremation, and Catholic Funeral Rites” documents, which were consulted as source material.
Pre-Planning
The time of death is traumatic, an occasion of considerable emotional and financial strain. In these circumstances, it is extremely difficult to make prudent decisions. Pre-arrangement allows families to decide their cemetery needs thoughtfully, and without pressure. Take the opportunity NOW to spare your family the added burden of making last minute burial arrangements at a time when they will be least prepared.
