Catholic Funeral & Cemetery ServicesObituaries · Hayward, CA

Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services is a church-owned, non-profit charitable organization that operates multiple locations throughout the area, including Holy Sepulchre Cemetery & Funeral Center (FD1456) and Sorensen Chapel (FD126) serving Hayward and surrounding Alameda County communities. The organization also manages Holy Cross Cemetery & Funeral Center, Queen of Heaven Cemetery & Funeral Center, St. Michael Cemetery & Funeral Center, St. Mary Cemetery & Funeral Center, St. Joseph Cemetery & Funeral Center, Cooper Chapel (FD381), Cathedral of Christ the Light Mausoleum, St. Augustine Cemetery, and Mission San Jose.

As a ministry of the Catholic Church, CFCS offers financial assistance programs and serves families seeking Catholic burial traditions, including those choosing cremation within church guidelines. The organization provides education on Catholic funeral customs, which prefer the body present for vigil and funeral services, with cremated remains kept together and interred in consecrated cemetery grounds rather than scattered or divided.

The funeral centers offer pre-planning programs designed to help families arrange services in advance and avoid emotional overspending during times of loss.
