Catholic Cemeteries in the Diocese of Fall River carry out the sacred duty of providing a dignified Christian burial for all of our beloved faithful departed. These cemeteries are extensions of our parishes. Just as the faithful have shared and celebrated in the community of the Church, so in death their bodies rest with other deceased members of this community, awaiting the day when God will raise their mortal bodies to glory. Our cemeteries are holy places of honor and respect for those who have died; they are places for prayer, reflection, hope and remembrance.
The names and addresses of Catholic cemeteries in the Diocese of Fall River follow below. In most cases, the office contact information is that of the parish of which the cemetery is part and the director is the pastor of the parish. Those cemeteries that are not part of a parish are under the oversight of Mr. David Raposa, who is the Director of Catholic Cemeteries for the Diocese of Fall River. He may be contacted at 1540 Stafford Road, Fall River, MA 02721, Tel. 508-673-1561, e-mail: draposa@dioc-fr.org. Rev. Thomas A. Frechette is part-time Chaplain for the diocesan cemeteries.
