Mt. Olivet Cemetery
The loss of a child in pregnancy or at birth is a very difficult time for families. Often, the child is left at the hospital without knowing that the precious life that died should be placed, reverently in a cemetery. Catholic Funeral and Cemetery Services of Northern Colorado would like to take this precious life into our care for placement in Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery at no cost. As a ministry of the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver, we live our vocational call of the Corporal Work of Mercy to Bury the Dead. No matter if families are Catholic, Protestant, another Faith Tradition or of no faith, we serve all families and want to serve you and yours.
Dragonflies for Ruby
Dragonflies For Ruby is a unique service for families experiencing pregnancy loss in any gestation, stillbirth, infant loss, fatal diagnosis, and expected or unexpected death of baby.

Families will be offered compassionate and continual support throughout their loss journey, no matter where it begins. All families and their babies are treated with respect and dignity.
