Protecting Your Loved Ones: Open Houses at Maryrest and Christ the King Cemeteries
The past year has served as a poignant reminder for families about the significance of planning ahead for life's inevitable events, particularly when it comes to the loss of a loved one. To support families through this sensitive time, Maryrest Mausoleum in Mahwah and Christ the King Cemetery in Franklin Lakes are hosting two Open House weekends on September 27 and 28, 2025.
This event is designed to provide the community with insight into the available options for memorialization, burial, and cremation, along with exclusive offers. Both locations offer serene environments that cater to the spiritual needs of Catholic families, featuring various burial options that reflect their faith and values.
Highlighting the Open House Events
During the Open House weekend, families are invited to tour the stunning grounds of Maryrest and Christ the King Cemeteries from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Visitors can expect a warm welcome from Caring Memorial Planning Advisors, who will be available to answer any questions regarding memorial services, burial, and cremation options.
At Maryrest Cemetery, guests can explore the Chapel Mausoleum adorned with classic stained glass windows and marble crypts. The mausoleum provides a tranquil and reflective environment for families to honor their deceased loved ones. Additionally, Maryrest features the state’s first Catholic natural/green burial section, encouraging an eco-friendly memorial approach surrounded by diverse flora and fauna.
Equally beautiful, the Christ the King Cemetery showcases vast open spaces, complete with elegant marble outdoor columbariums and traditional burial plots. The picturesque setting creates a comforting atmosphere for prayer and reflection, ensuring families have a serene space to visit their loved ones.
