Planning for the future is one of the most thoughtful gifts we can give our families.

Catholic Cemeteries & Mortuaries invites you to join our monthly Online Preplanning Seminar, conveniently offered through Zoom and available in English and Spanish.


From the comfort and privacy of your home, you can learn why planning ahead matters and how thoughtful decisions today can bring peace of mind to you and those you love.


Why Preplan?


For many families, starting conversations about cemetery and funeral arrangements can be difficult. Yet preplanning is not simply about preparing for the end of life.


It is about making your wishes known, reducing uncertainty, and helping protect your loved ones from having to make important decisions during a time of grief.


Taking time to plan ahead lets you thoughtfully consider your wishes before an immediate need arises.


It also gives you an opportunity to discuss those wishes with your family and ensure they understand what matters to you.


For Catholics, preplanning can also be an important part of preparing in faith.


Our Catholic funeral and burial traditions remind us of the dignity of every human life and our hope in the promise of eternal life.


Learn From Home, in English or Spanish


Our Online Preplanning Seminars are offered once a month via Zoom, with sessions available in both English and Spanish, making this important information accessible to more families throughout our communities.


The seminar provides an opportunity to learn more about advance planning and the decisions families may encounter when making cemetery and funeral arrangements.


Whether you are beginning to think about preplanning for the first time or have questions about your options, the seminar is a helpful place to start.


Participants can listen, learn, and become better informed without the pressure of having to make immediate decisions.


Get the information you need, ask questions, and learn about your options with no pressure and no obligation to make any decisions or commitments.


A Gift of Peace of Mind


Preplanning can be a meaningful act of love.


By communicating your wishes and making decisions in advance, you can help ease some of the emotional burden your family may otherwise experience at the time of your passing.


Instead of wondering what you would have wanted, your loved ones can focus more fully on remembering, praying, and supporting one another.

It is never too early to begin the conversation.
