I have a slightly different question concerning a Catholic ancestor, would this office have information on someone who lived in Philadelphia, but was buried in another state. Case in point, my Grandfather's sister lived in Philadelphia from roughly 1919 until her death in January 1929. After her funeral in Philadelphia, my Grandfather had her body shipped back to Bridgeport, CT for burial in the family plot. Ed

No, there wouldn't be anything at the CCO, they only have the records of the diocesan cemeteries in the Philadelphia Archdiocese. But you should find a death certificate and transit permit (to transport the body across state lines) in Philadelphia, FWIW. Claire K.
