If you lost a loved one and already have cemetery property in our Catholic Cemeteries, please call 504-488-5200 or 504-482-5065 to make burial arrangements. 

Memorial Masses –  The dearly departed interred in our Catholic Cemeteries are remembered in prayer at St. Rita Catholic Church, currently at the Wednesday morning, 7:00 am Mass, and at the Archdiocese of New Orleans Retreat Center. This is an important part of our ministry and witness of our faith to fulfill the Spiritual Work of Mercy: to pray for the living and the dead.
