There are no Catholic Cemeteries in the Atlanta metro area available for burial. Your local parish may be able to direct you to a nearby cemetery that many parishioners use. Some private cemeteries have Catholic sections, but you are not limited to those sections. The Catholic priest or deacon blesses the ground during interment.Alternatively, there are several Catholic Columbaria at individual parishes. Each parish should be contacted directly for information on availability, prices and policies.
