Memorials at Catholic Cemeteries
of the Archdiocese of Washington

The Catholic cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Washington have carefully landscaped sections where families can choose either flat bronze or granite markers, or upright granite monuments to create a lasting memorial for their loved ones. Catholic cemetery managers know that this choice is important to families, reflecting the unique person who awaits his or her resurrection in Christ.

Emblems, such as images of the Blessed Virgin Mary or St. Francis of Assisi, can be chosen to make flat bronze markers even more personal. Unique designs and features are available for flush or upright granite memorials, as well. Since the choice of a memorial is often the final act of earthly care for a loved one, Catholic cemeterians take extra care when working with families on this aspect of the cemetery arrangements.
