Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services

Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services (CFCS) is a Church-owned nonprofit organization founded in faith and dedicated to providing education, outreach and professional funeral, cremation and cemetery services while following the teachings of the Church. With CFCS, you can be assured that you and your family come first. CFCS knows that the loss of a loved one is always difficult. Celebrating the gift of faith with family and friends is an essential part of the healing process. Our goal is to share the journey, although trying and wearisome, while we educate and guide our families towards making the right end-of-life decisions. With programs and services for immediate needs and for those planning in advance, CFCS is a resource that families can trust. CFCS staff works in numerous dioceses around the country, supporting over 30 active cemeteries that conduct over 10,000 burial services annually. We also serve around 10 funeral centers that provide over 2,500 funeral and cremation services year after year. CFCS’ goal is to create a healthy and sustainable environment and reinvigorate the vital Catholic funeral and cemetery ministry in dioceses that are being challenged to sustain their operations.
