Catholic Funeral and Cemetery Services offer spiritual and practical mercy in its Mission Programs

Catholic Funeral and Cemetery Services of the Diocese of Oakland has launched a three-part mission program to assist families with funeral and burial costs. Executive Director Randy Moore stated the programs are intended to reach marginalized members of the community and provide support regardless of a person's financial situation or faith.

The All Souls Remembrance Program provides free interment and committal ceremonies for cremated remains. The Mother Teresa Finance Program offers free funerals, committals, and burials for those in extreme financial need. This program also assists families who cannot pay the upfront costs for funeral or grave services.
