The Archdiocese of Los Angeles provides eleven Catholic Cemeteries and six Catholic Mortuaries throughout Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties. These sacred spaces are dedicated to serving the faithful and are a vital ministry of the church. Whether you are in need of burial options or funeral home facilities, we offer high-quality services that uphold our Catholic faith and traditions. With a long and rich history in Southern California, Catholic Cemeteries & Mortuaries are committed to providing a level of care that endures beyond that of private or commercial cemeteries. We invite you to join us for our Memorial Mass held on the second Tuesday of each month, where special intentions are offered for those recently served by our Catholic Cemeteries and Mortuaries.
Our Saint Thomas Aquinas Cemetery is currently undergoing restoration to better serve the Catholic community in the Ojai Valley. This restoration includes the creation of a new Columbarium dedicated to Saint Thomas Aquinas.
If you are seeking a career with a deeper purpose, we invite you to attend our career fair at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City. Join our diverse team dedicated to the Burial of the Dead and the Corporal Works of Mercy.
In order to maintain the beauty of our cemeteries, we have established a regular practice of removing flowers every Thursday. However, during holidays such as Easter, All Souls Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, we allow flowers to remain undisturbed. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we strive to preserve the dignity and peace of our cemetery grounds.
During the Day of the Dead celebrations, our Catholic cemeteries come alive with vibrant and joyous occasions to remember and honor our loved ones who have passed. Join us as we celebrate this important tradition in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
We also offer a Memorial Mass on the second Tuesday of each month, where you can remember and pray for those we have lost. Submit prayer requests on our website, and join us virtually from the San Fernando Mission Chapel in Mission Hills, California.
In observance of important holidays such as Presidents Day, Good Friday, and Memorial Day, our cemetery and mortuary offices may be closed but cemetery gates will remain open for visitation. For immediate funeral or burial arrangements, 24-hour phone assistance is available.
Catholic Cemeteries & Mortuaries serve as a ministry of the Church, providing a resting place on holy ground and honoring the souls of the departed.
