Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services of Youngstown is a charitable organization serving the Diocese of Youngstown. As a ministry of the Catholic Church, we provide cemetery services, as well as educational outreach to parishes and caregiver organizations.
Our mission is to provide guidance and wisdom on end of-life services. While we do charge for our services in what has become a very commercial industry, we are committed as a charity to offer innovative programs that provide financial assistance, free options, and programs to meet the needs of our faith community.
“Our Catholic funeral tradition affirms our belief in the communion of saints and our trust in Jesus’ promise of everlasting life. Burying of the dead is one of the Corporal Works of Mercy, incumbent upon every Christian. The Church’s rituals enable us to honor our dearly departed with solemn and tender devotion. Our Catholic Cemeteries provide us with a gathering place on holy ground where the living can prayerfully remember those who have gone before us awaiting the Resurrection to eternal life.

Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services (CFCS) offers at no charge, to anyone, of any faith, who has cremated remains at home or is considering scattering the dignified committal of the remains at any of our cemeteries.

Mother Teresa firmly believed that love begins at home and that we should reach out to those in need in our family first, then our community, our country and our world. It is in this spirit that CFCS created the Mother Teresa Program that allows the poor and destitute in our community to receive sacred and dignified cemetery services.
Mother Teresa proclaimed “I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home... love begins at home.” In our community there are many in need; over 36.80%* of people in Youngstown live below the poverty line. * welfareinfo.org
