The past year's challenges have enlightened many to realize there has never been a better time to protect their loved ones' legacy. Losing a loved one is a significant life event, often a time of sorrow, uncertainty, and worry.
Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark is scheduling several open house events throughout Essex, Union, Bergen, Hudson, and Middlesex counties to help Catholics gain knowledge and confidence before that difficult time arises.
"In moments of grief, families shouldn't be burdened with the added stress of making last-minute burial decisions," states Joseph Heckel, Executive Director of the Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark. "That's why we proactively engage with families to educate them on the indispensable advantages of preplanning their loved one's final resting place."
0 Percent Interest for 48 Months Available During Open House Events
Come to the next Open House weekend, Saturday, September 16, and Sunday, September 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Gate of Heaven Cemetery and Mausoleum in East Hanover, NJ. Many payment options including 0% Interest for 48 Months are available with the lowest grand opening pricing for a limited time.
The new Chapel Mausoleum of the Resurrection expansion features elegant marble crypts, glass and marble cremation niches, and a new section dedicated exclusively to cremations. The new section also features several magnificent works of sacred art, including a captivating two-story mosaic made exclusively for Gate of Heaven Cemetery by world-renowned Mellini Art and Glass Mosaics based in Florence, Italy, of Christ ascending from the tomb.
The new chapel mausoleum also includes 14 life-like statues of the stations of the cross handcrafted from wood made in Tyrol, Austria, almost 200 years ago. The sculptures were saved from St. Peter's Church (formerly Queen of Angels) in Newark, NJ, and were restored to their original glory.

Are you keeping the cremains of your loved one at home? Consider a sacred and proper burial space
Catholics believe the cremated remains of loved ones should be given a sacred and dignified resting space. Having cremains interred in a chapel mausoleum or cemetery also offers families a designated place and time to grieve, heal, pray, and honor the memories of their loved one, surrounded by magnificent liturgical art inspired by the Holy Family, the Apostles, heavenly saints, and angels. By contrast, when the cremated remains are left in a home, they can fade into everyday life's background and be forgotten.
Meet with our caring and professional Memorial Planning Advisors to learn how easy it is to have your loved one's cremated remains interred in one of our mausoleums or cemeteries—plan by attending the open house of your choice below. There is no obligation or appointment necessary. Stop at one of the locations below or visit http://www.rcancem.org/open-house-weekend-gate-of-heaven for more details.
