Catholic cemeteries reflect two core truths of the Catholic Church\u2014the resurrection of the body and the communion of saints\u2014uniting the living and the dead. A Catholic cemetery is a sign to all that even in death we Catholics believe in life.<\/p>\nDiocese of Lansing Catholic Cemeteries<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJesus said to her, \u2018I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’\u201d<\/p>\nJohn 11:25-26 (NASB)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
