Select A Cemetery

As the early Church was commissioned by Christ to spread the Good News, so the Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Seattle share in that same mission. We do so by reinforcing Catholic traditions and Gospel values and by endeavoring to provide affordable and accessible Catholic burial to those who desire it. Associated Catholic Cemeteries is an agency of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle. The cemeteries are owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Seattle providing for the burial needs of Catholics, their family members, and others who seek the healing touch of Christ and his Church. 

Throughout life, human beings are involved in a journey. In addition to the human experiences of birth, growth and development, there is the spiritual journey taken by the disciples of Jesus within the Christian faith community. Throughout this faith journey, the Church is present to celebrate significant moments of life. The Church is present to meet the needs of hunger and healing, commitment and maturity by continuing the mission of Jesus among us today. Since death is also a part of the human journey, it is only right that the Church should also be present when human beings confront this reality. 

Associated Catholic Cemeteries exists to meet the needs of individuals and parish in the Archdiocese of Seattle in preparation for, at the time of, and following the death event. The ministry we provide extends into areas of liturgy, prayer, comfort, instruction and evangelization. Our ministry is rooted in the reality of the human person as an embodied spirit. That embodiment is sacred, for it locates the human spirit in history and in place. Just as the human body deserves to be treated with respect and dignity in life, so should it be treated in death. In providing a consecrated place for burial, we treat the body with dignity after death. We set aside sacred space where remembering can be fostered and centered, and we provide a place for liturgical celebration. We serve as a symbol of the extended community of the Church - a community unbroken by death - and, like the sacrament of the Eucharist, celebrate the death and resurrection of the Lord which offer to us the promise of eternal life.
