Planning a Funeral With CCCS

It's essential to make your wishes known, and that's where pre-planning a funeral comes in. Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery Society has helped residents of Cincinnati, OH pre-plan funerals for hundreds of years. There are plenty of things to think about when planning a funeral, and you don't have to do it alone – Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery Society can help.

The first step of pre-planning your funeral arrangements is starting the talk. This can be with a Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery Society team member, your family, yourself, or all three of these. From there, it's essential to determine what kind of funeral you want – cremation, internment, a memorial, or a vault. Next, it's important to decide which cemetery property you wish to be laid to rest at.

Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery Society provides completely pre-arranged and pre-paid funeral, burial, and perpetual care that guarantees your wishes will be carried out, value for value. And through the Catholic Funeral Plan, we can help you pre-fund any and all such services even if you don’t choose a cemetery or funeral home at this time.

Death is a part of life. It marks the end of our journey on earth and the beginning of a new one for people of faith. But being ready for that day isn’t only about the hereafter. We want you to know that getting your financial, legal, and final arrangements in order brings you and your loved ones' peace of mind in the here and now.
