Why would someone wish to have a burial in a roman catholic cemetery?

Catholic people believe that each person, created in the image and likeness of God, sets out on a faith journey. Our church, and in particular the local parish, is always present along the way to minister to the traveler’s needs and to celebrate significant milestones in their lives. They also believe that death is another milestone, so therefore it is only fitting that the Church is present at the time of death and grief. Catholic Cemeteries are an extension of the parish where those who have worshipped and prayed together in life now await the resurrection of the body in death. Catholic Cemeteries are rooted in ancient religious traditions that display a respect for the deceased and a reverence for their physical remains. A core belief, which dates back to the birth of Christianity, is that there is a direct relationship between Jesus’ death and resurrection and the death and resurrection of the Christian. Catholics believe in life eternal. Catholic cemeteries are a constant reminder that death is just a part of the journey that leads to new life.
