Pre-Planning Your Cemetery Arrangements

Today, almost half the purchases of burial space made in Catholic Cemeteries are made in advance of death (Pre-need). A PRE-NEED burial space selection may be made today calmly, responsibly, economically and prudently with a low down payment and interest-free monthly payments. A 10% discount is available to our families when pre-purchasing graves and lawn crypts as well as several other eligible products. These purchases are made directly at a cemetery office. The Counselors at your Catholic Cemeteries' Counselors offer you their cemetery knowledge and expertise to make an educated interment selection from the many options available.

Most purchases can be made under payment plan. Payment plans are without interest or carrying charges, so families generally find it more economical to use our payment plan rather than to withdraw from savings. Monthly payments are extended over reasonable lengths of time.

Once families have purchased their property, many choose to also prepay all remaining cemetery requirements in advance. For example, your Catholic Cemeteries offer such goods and services as interment and administration fees, granite grave markers, mausoleum and cremation memorialization, grave liners or protective burial vaults, and in-ground flower vases. All these items can be selected by means of our pre-paid and price-guaranteed cemetery trust program. The program allows you to select only those goods and services you want, prevents the possibility of emotional "overspending", and removes the financial burden from those responsible for your arrangements at the time of need.
