The past year’s challenges have enlightened many to realize there has never been a better time to protect their loved ones’ legacy. The loss of a loved one is a significant life event that is often a time of sorrow, and uncertainty but Holy Name Cemetery’s Open House event can provide peace of mind and significant savings.

As part of their 2021: Year of St. Joseph, 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.

Are You Keeping The Cremains Of Your Loved One At Home? Consider Bringing Them Home (To The Lord)

If you have been keeping the cremated burial remains of your loved ones at home for at least three months or longer, our open house events could be the perfect opportunity to give your loved ones the resting place they deserve. The Catholic Church's Catechism teaches that every spiritual soul "is immortal: It does not perish when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body at the final Resurrection" (CCC 366).

As a result, we 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 the background of everyday life and be left 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 Holy Name Cemetery open house on November 13 or 14 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. There is no obligation or appointment necessary. Stop in at one of the locations below or go to https://www.rcancem.org/open-house-weekend-holy-name for more details.
