Grieving the Loss of a Loved One

Feelings of grief may surface around this time of year, but it is important to remember that there is help available to you. We have many resources available to those who may be experiencing the ebbs and flows of grief:

• Resources for Grief Ministry

The Archdiocese of Indianapolis' Office of Marriage and Family Life offers a wide range of grief management resources. Support is available for any individuals and families experiencing hardship.

• Brooke's Place

They offer on-going support groups, free of charge, for children ages 3 to young adult (20+) who have experienced the passing of any loved one and their caregivers. Families may participate for as little or as long as they deem necessary.

• First Candle

They offer one-on-one support to families who experience the passing of a baby to SIDS, stillbirth, or other cause.

Why Choose the Catholic Cemeteries Association?

Catholic cemeteries are rooted in ancient religious traditions that display a respect for the deceased and a reverence for their physical remains. By choosing the Catholic Cemeteries Association, you are honoring those traditions eternally.
