Coronavirus (COVID-19) Guidelines

Scheduling A Funeral; Making Pre-arrangements

To fulfill our mission of burying the dead with dignity and comforting the living with compassion, Catholic Cemeteries is striving to do everything possible to help ensure that we meet the needs of our families during these challenging times. We appreciate your understanding, patience and observance of the guidelines Catholic Cemeteries has in place to address concerns related to COVID-19. The following guidelines have been implemented to protect the families we serve and our staff.

Planning In Advance:

Pre-need Arrangements – Catholic Cemeteries is offering a new service through which a Family Service Advisor can connect with you for a remote presentation via your cell phone, computer or tablet. We will send you a link that allows us to screen-share with you to review burial options and plans. You can see the options on your screen, and we can discuss them during this remote mobile presentation. It’s easy and convenient; no special equipment required – only your phone, computer or tablet.

Call 913-371-4040 to learn more.

When A Loved One Dies:

At-need (Immediate Need) Arrangements – During the COVID-19 emergency, Catholic Cemeteries is not maintaining regular office hours at any of our locations. In the event of the loss of a loved one or if death is imminent, please call 913-371-4040 to arrange an appointment with a Family Service Advisor. The Advisor will meet with up to two asymptomatic family representatives to assist with burial arrangements.

At The Time Of The Funeral:

• In compliance with guidelines provided by the Bishops of Kansas, effective March 17, 2020 and until further notice, all funerals in Catholic Cemeteries of Northeast Kansas must be limited to immediate family members who are asymptomatic only.
• Social distancing (six feet) should be observed by all attendees and staff.
• We do not have any occupancy or attendance restrictions. However, masks must be worn whenever social distancing cannot be maintained regardless of whether we are inside or outside.
• To observe the social distance of six feet, the field staff will not be available to assist as pallbearers during this pandemic.
• All committal services will be performed outside. This includes those for persons with mausoleum crypts or niches.
• We strongly recommend that there be no pre- or post-gatherings at the burial site.
• The field staff will not be available to lower caskets into the vaults in the ground while the family is present. Placement of caskets will occur after the family and clergy leave the site.

Other Information:

• Our offices will not be open to assist with genealogy requests at this time. We can offer assistance over the phone or through our website. Please feel free to visit our website at cathcemks.org.
•  The conditions in which we are operating are constantly changing, so please call prior to coming to the cemetery. Catholic Cemeteries is not maintaining regular office hours at any of our locations at this time.
