Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services of Colorado works with families during one of the most difficult times they will experience to “Fill the Void of Loss with Faith.” In addition to their regular funeral services that are open and offered to anyone, CFCS ministers to the wider community through their indigent burial program and further carries out its mission as a Catholic organization by serving families with resources such as the Crypt of All Souls for cremated remains, and Precious Lives Burials for pre-born children. Below are a few highlights from the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year:
