Come to the next Open House weekend Saturday, March 26, and Sunday, March 27, from 8:30 am-4:30 pm at Maryrest Cemetery and Mausoleum in Mahwah, NJ. In addition to magnificent marble mausoleum crypts, glass cremation niches, and traditional family estate plots, Maryrest is home to New Jersey's first natural/green burial section. The wildflowers and naturally occurring flora create a peaceful and serene setting for our Catholic families who prefer an eco-friendly memorial or for those who may want an alternative to cremation. The price increase is scheduled for March 28.

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 ones 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.
