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.

As part of our efforts to maintain the beauty of Catholic Cemeteries, we have established a regular practice of removing flowers every Thursday. However, we do recognize the importance of certain holidays such as Easter, All Souls Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, during which we allow flowers to remain undisturbed. We extend our deepest gratitude for your cooperation and understanding in our mission to preserve the dignity and peace of our cemetery grounds. Christmas Flowers may be placed beginning on Friday, December 8, 2023, and must be removed by Wednesday, January 10, 2023.

Like any other year, our 11 Catholic cemeteries celebrated All Souls Day Masses on Thursday, Nov. 2, but this year’s Mass at Assumption Cemetery in Simi Valley brought another cause for celebration.
