Welcome to the Catholic Cemeteries of the Diocese of San Diego. Our cemeteries are more than just resting places; they are sacred spaces of prayer, history, and the enduring bonds of faith and family. We invite you to visit, remember, and find peace within these holy grounds.
As a ministry of the Church, we work closely with parishes across the Diocese to ensure that our community of faith remains united, both in life and in eternal rest. Whether you are here to visit a loved one, attend a service, or simply seek a moment of quiet reflection, we welcome you.
Planning Your Visit
To ensure a peaceful and respectful environment for all, we provide the following resources to help you navigate our grounds and understand our traditions:
Finding a Loved One
Our online burial search tool allows you to locate the exact resting place of family and friends before you arrive.
Decoration & Flower Policy
To maintain the beauty and dignity of our cemeteries, we have specific guidelines regarding floral tributes and decorations. We ask all visitors to review these guidelines before placing items at a gravesite or niche.
Rules & Regulations
As sacred ground, our cemeteries have established rules to ensure the safety of visitors and the preservation of the memorial environment. This includes information on visiting hours, photography, and prohibited items.
Cemetery Wildlife & Environment
Many of our cemeteries are home to local San Diego wildlife and native flora. We ask that you respect the natural environment and refrain from feeding or disturbing the animals during your visit.
