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 Maryrest Cemetery’s Open House event can provide peace of mind and significant savings.

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.

Come to the next Open House weekend on Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, from 8:30 am-4:30 pm at Maryrest Cemetery and Mausoleum in Mahwah, NJ. Just minutes away, also visit the magnificent, park-like Christ The King Cemetery in nearby Franklin Lakes! Experience a truly prayerful atmosphere featuring Amish-styled gazebo committal sections, columbarium cremation spaces, and minimalist flat cemetery markers.

Caring and professional Memorial Planning Advisors at both locations will share information about burial and cremation options, memorialization, and financial planning. Many special payment options are available including 0% interest up to 48 months.

We do recommend visitors fill out and submit the online form on our website to help our caring and professional Memorial Planning Advisors better understand your concerns and needs. Please click the links and submit the online form today.

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, our open house events could be the perfect opportunity to give your loved ones the resting place they deserve.

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 clicking the link and attending the open house of your choice. Open House Weekend – Maryrest – Catholic Cemeteries or Open House Weekend – Christ the King – Catholic Cemeteries for more details.
