Our Catholic cemeteries reflect our belief in the dignity and sacredness of human life and the immortality of the soul. We are dedicated to the service of the Church and carry out our sacred trust by making our cemeteries places to remember, to heal, to strengthen and to pray. In the name of the People of God, the entire cemetery staff is committed to supporting the deepening of faith in the families who experience a death. Thus will the Diocese of Monterey Catholic Cemeteries continue to give perspective and meaning to life, death and life after death.

The five Catholic Cemeteries in our diocese, San Carlos, Queen of Heaven, Holy Cross, Calvary/Sacred Heart, Old Calvary and Old Mission are dedicated to reverently laying to rest those who have died, caring for those who grieve and maintaining our cemeteries in a manner that fosters prayer and reflection. Our ministry is rooted in service to families and our goal is to make each cemetery a place where life, both natural and supernatural, is celebrated and honored.
