"Teaching about death has never been easy, but this new site will help us educate all of our parishioners - from CCD classes thru Adult Education - what a valuable resource!"

"Prior to participating in a presentation after Mass, I truly did not understand the importance that a proper Catholic burial meant to committing to my faith. The material that was shared with us was not only personally impactful but generated amazing conversations amongst all those who attended."

"Having access to a diverse library that can be shared amongst many audiences within our congregation is a tremendous benefit and most appreciated."

"Newly formed through the extensive theological and practical resources of Catholic Burial Traditions, parishioners young and old are invited to discover in the rich culture of Catholic burial - perhaps “again for the first time” - the healing power of God at the death and burial of loved ones. A welcome, multi-disciplinary and in time multi-ethnic toolkit, this website facilitates a process both of reinvigorating burial tradition through a renewed engagement with the Catholic Cemetery and of aiding bereaved Catholics across North America, their families, and friends to deepen their relationship with God and each other."

"Having met with bereaved family members for twenty plus years, I am continually amazed by the number of people who felt that making burial arrangements while grieving the loss of a loved one would have been significantly less stressful had they pre-planned arrangements pro-actively. Having a comprehensive website such as this will not only assist in educating our fellow Catholics as to what a proper Catholic burial should include, but also allow them to grieve those they loved without having to worry about final details."
