How will your memory endure? This question shapes the heart of our Open House event at the breathtaking St. Gertrude Cemetery and Mausoleum in Colonia, NJ, just 23 miles from the bustling streets of New York City. Join us on April 20 and 21, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, for a rare glimpse into a sanctuary of peace and artistry.

Explore Architectural Marvels and Sacred Art – Our grounds feature an awe-inspiring chapel, adorned with liturgical art that speaks to the soul, and peaceful alcoves ideal for reflection and remembrance. This weekend presents a final opportunity to secure your place within our luxurious marble mausoleum crypts and glass cremation niches at today’s prices.

The new Chapel Mausoleum of the Resurrection is the first in archdiocesan history to feature a unique chapel exclusively for glass cremation niches. It features a brilliantly colored, 14-foot stained-glass window of Jesus ascending to heaven. The chapel is also designed to accommodate cremation committal services for the deceased and their family members and friends.

Tranquil Beauty Awaits You – Wander through our elegantly landscaped cemetery, home to garden mausoleums, a picturesque gazebo for family estates, and traditional burial plots designed with serenity in mind. Our modern cemetery office ensures every need is met with grace and efficiency. Details are available on our website at www.rcancem.org/open-house-weekend-saint-gertrude or in person.

Personalized Memorial Planning – Our compassionate Memorial Planning Advisors are available to discuss burial, cremation, and memorialization options in a warm, inviting atmosphere. This event is the perfect moment to secure a revered final resting place for your loved ones' cremains, honoring them within a setting that reflects the dignity of Catholic traditions.

Within each alcove, the elegant marble crypts and glass cremation niches provide elegant resting spaces for loved ones within several mausoleum alcoves. The magnificent 12-foot stained-glass windows reclaimed from the former St. Mark's Church in Rahway, NJ, provide a church-like environment for reflection and mediation.

Visit With No Obligation – Choose the best day for your visit to St. Gertrude Cemetery & Mausoleum at 53 Inman Ave., Colonia, NJ 07067. No appointments are necessary. For more information, call (888) 444-2791 or visit www.rcancem.org/open-house-weekend-saint-gertrude. Embrace this chance to find an eternal resting place at exceptional value.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the majesty of St. Gertrude Cemetery – where memories live forever.

Intricately designed bronze figures of Mary and the 12 Apostles during Pentecost can be seen below the glorious marble altar. Progetto Arte Poli created the statues, an art studio in Verona, Italy, known for producing artworks for the Holy See at the Vatican Gardens, the Apostolic Palace, and the Diocese of Rome's St. John Lateran Basilica.

The final open house event will be May 4th and 5th at Holy Name Cemetery in Jersey City, NJ. Go to www.HolyNameCemetery.org for more details.
