Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services — Funeral Home in Oakland, CA

Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services operates as a church-owned, non-profit charitable organization serving the Catholic community in Oakland and throughout the Diocese. The organization oversees multiple locations including Holy Cross Cemetery & Funeral Center (FD1958), Holy Sepulchre Cemetery & Funeral Center (FD1456), Queen of Heaven Cemetery & Funeral Center (FD1959), St. Michael Cemetery & Funeral Center (FD1974), St. Mary Cemetery & Funeral Center (FD1955), and St. Joseph Cemetery & Funeral Center (FD1960), along with Sorensen Chapel (FD126) and Cooper Chapel (FD381).

The organization provides services aligned with Catholic traditions, including options for cremation which the Church has accepted for over 50 years. When families choose cremation, Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services offers the traditional funeral Mass with the body present or memorial services with cremated remains, teaching that remains should be kept together and interred in consecrated grounds rather than scattered or divided.

As a ministry of the Catholic Church, the organization operates charitable programs that provide financial assistance and options designed to meet the needs of the Catholic faith community. The Cathedral of Christ the Light Mausoleum serves as one of the sacred spaces available for interment.
