Saint Gertrude Cemetery & Mausoleum Open House Weekend
Saint Gertrude Cemetery & Mausoleum, a cherished institution in Colonia, New Jersey, is set to welcome families from across New York and New Jersey for its highly anticipated Open House Weekend on October 24 and 25. This event represents a rare opportunity for attendees to explore the tranquil grounds and consider important arrangements, all while enjoying a limited-time offer of 0% interest financing for 48 months.
A Day of Remembrance and Reflection
During this open house, families can take guided tours of the Chapel Mausoleum of the Resurrection and experience the serene landscapes of the cemetery. Attendees will have the chance to explore a wide variety of burial and cremation options, as well as connect with compassionate Memorial Planning Advisors without any prior appointments or obligations.
Joseph Heckel, the Executive Director of Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark, emphasized the importance of this event. “With our new Open-Air Mausoleum of the Holy Family underway, this is an ideal moment for families to plan ahead, securing peace of mind and locking in current pricing before any increases occur,” he stated.
The New Open-Air Mausoleum
A significant highlight of this open house is the opportunity to preview the future Open-Air Mausoleum of the Holy Family. This impressive addition boasts an elegant granite facade, illuminated liturgical mosaics, and a beautifully designed entrance featuring a glass skylight. Landscaped pathways and benches will invite visitors to reflect and honor their loved ones in a peaceful environment.
Inside, families will find spacious crypts and niches surrounded by stunning mosaics that depict serene biblical scenes, such as the Nativity and the Wedding at Cana. These artistic touches, crafted by the renowned Alexander Studios, aim to enhance the spiritual atmosphere, filling the mausoleum with natural light and creating a calming space for prayer and remembrance.
Last Chance for Exclusive Financing
The Open House Weekend runs from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM on both days, concluding on Sunday, October 25. This represents the last opportunity to take advantage of the 0% interest financing for four years until it resumes in 2027. Families are encouraged to act quickly to reserve their spots in the new mausoleum before construction wraps up and prices rise.
