In an ever-changing world, ensuring the future of your loved ones brings peace and comfort. Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark invites you to our Open House Weekend at Gate of Heaven Cemetery and Mausoleum on September 13 and 14.

A new, custom-made two-story mosaic of Jesus Christ bursting out of the tomb in brilliant, bright colors will be easily visible when families visit the new Chapel Mausoleum of the Resurrection at the Gate of Heaven in East Hanover, N.J.

Why Pre-Planning Matters

Pre-planning gives you the ability to secure your family’s burial preferences while easing the burden on those left behind. With flexible payment plans and expert guidance from our caring Memorial Planning Advisors, you can make informed decisions that align with your faith and values—without the rush of last-minute choices, providing you with a sense of peace and security.

Are You Keeping Cremains at Home? Consider a Sacred Final Resting Place

Catholic tradition encourages giving cremated remains a dignified and holy resting place. Interring cremains in our mausoleums honors your loved ones and provides a place of prayer and remembrance for generations. Our mausoleums offer a serene, prayerful environment that keeps your faith at the center of your family’s legacy.
