Your Options - The Catholic Cremation Centre

Holy Cross Catholic Cremation Centre was opened in November 2003 to serve the growing interest in cremation.

Centrally located in the Diocese on Governor’s Road outside of Brantford, Holy Cross Catholic Cremation Centre is available to Catholics (and their families) as well as to people of other faiths and cultures.

We operate our cremation centre with the same reverence and respect for the body that is an integral part of both our faith tradition and our overall philosophy.

Families are Welcome

Families who wish to be present during cremation may use our comfortable waiting area. There is a viewing window so that the casket may be seen entering the "retort," or cremation chamber. There is also a spacious chapel area where committal services can be held.

After Cremation

Following cremation, options for interment include ground burial, entombment in an outdoor columbarium or in a niche inside a mausoleum. Please refer to our Directory to view the options at each of our cemeteries. Our family counsellors can explain to you the details, including the difference in cost, associated with each option.

For more information about cremation services, or to make pre-need arrangements for cremation, please call the Cremation Centre at 519-442-2214, or toll-free: 1-800-661-5985.
