Why Preplan a Funeral

Plan for the Future
For over 115 years families of the Tucson Catholic Community
have traditionally chosen our cemeteries for their burial needs.
A Catholic cemetery is truly different than any other cemetery. Catholic theology teaches us that our sacraments and traditions bring us closer to our Lord in Heaven throughout our lives. From baptism to our burial, we are blessed and honored as a temple of the Holy Spirit and a child of God. Our staff at our cemeteries are prepared to honor you and your loved ones within our hallowed grounds.
Planning ahead is one of the most loving and responsible things you can do for your family. In pre-planning your funeral cemetery services, you can ensure your wishes are met, avoid emotional overspending, and produce peace of mind for yourself and for your loved ones.
When to Choose A Burial Place
Determining where you and your family will be laid to rest when the time comes can be a difficult decision, as can deciding when to make that decision. Before you ultimately decide, speak with your loved ones and then call us, we at the Diocese of Tucson Catholic Cemeteries are here to serve you.
Considering your options now means the planning can be done thoughfully and calmly.

Important Note: Viewing of the body is a choice of the family. In most cases, embalming is required or recommended for public viewing/visitation, service with entombment, or transfer of remains via common carrier (i.e. shipment by air or rail). When possible, the funeral home needs authorization from the next of kin for embalming. Except in certain cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement, which does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation, immediate burial and/or one-time ID viewing for family only. If you elect NOT to order embalming, State law requires refrigeration of an unembalmed body that is held for over 24 hours from the time of death.
