Mission Statement

The Catholic Cemetery Association of the Archdiocese of Boston is committed to witnessing in faith to the Church's belief in the resurrection of the body, her traditions and practices and the corporal work of mercy which call us to a profound reverence for the bodies which were once temples of the Holy Spirit. It is a significant part of our mission to provide a fitting resting place for our beloved dead - especially the poor - sacred places of prayer, beauty and peace where those who mourn can find comfort - and to reflect the faith as expressed in the Order of Christian Funerals. The mission of the Catholic Cemetery Association of the Archdiocese of Boston includes the witness of faith in the world as we minister to the needs of those who come to us. It also includes ongoing formation for all cemetery personnel and all the parish communities of the Archdiocese of Boston with regard to the ministry to which we are called and the tenets of the Catholic faith. We work in service to the Archbishop of Boston and to all who are in need of our ministry.

Over time, weather and the elements can take a toll on a monument, making inscriptions difficult to read and diminishing the beauty of these important memorials.

Our Stone Restoration Program helps bring aging monuments back to life, restoring their appearance and making it possible to once again clearly see the names and words that preserve a loved one’s memory.

As Catholics, caring for those who have gone before us is a meaningful way to practice the Corporal Works of Mercy. By caring for their final resting places, we honor their lives, preserve their memory, and help ensure their stories continue for generations to come.

Before & After: A restored monument, renewed with care and dignity.

As Catholics, we are called to practice the Corporal Works of Mercy, including the respectful care of those who have gone before us. Caring for their final resting place is a lasting act of love and faith. Through our Stone Restoration Program, we help restore the beauty and dignity of aging monuments, preserving these sacred memorials so they may continue to honor our loved ones and bear witness to our hope in Christ's promise of the Resurrection and eternal life.

Due to the heavy snowfall we have experienced this winter, our cemeteries are currently closed to visitors, except for families attending active burials.

Our grounds crew is working carefully and diligently to clear the snow so that the grounds can be safely reopened. We understand how important it is to visit loved ones, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make the cemeteries safe for everyone.

Thank you for your kindness and cooperation.

Our Cemetery offices are open; however, we strongly advise you to postpone any visits to our mausoleums or gravesites for the next couple days due to icing on cemetery roads and walkways as well as frigid temperatures.

Our groundskeepers are diligently out working to salt and make our cemetery roads and sidewalks safe for visitors, but this will take time.

If you must leave home today, please be cautious as most of our region is experiencing low temperatures and icy conditions.

Be cautious and safe!

The Catholic Cemetery Association will be hosting students from Bishop Fenwick High School as they participate in a “Wreaths Across America” tribute within the Veterans Section of our St. Mary Cemetery, Salem, MA this Saturday, December 18, 2021, at 12 PM.

We encourage all who are interested in volunteering to join us, rain or shine, for a brief, reflective ceremony followed by the playing of Taps and the laying of wreaths upon a hero’s grave.
