Holy Cross Cemetery's Open House Weekend

Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington, New Jersey, is excited to announce its upcoming Open House event, taking place on the weekend of October 10-11, 2026. This special occasion will offer guests the rare opportunity to explore the newly revealed outdoor mausoleum, the Mausoleo del Espíritu Santo, and admire a stunning collection of mosaic art crafted by renowned artists.

Discover the New Mausoleum

The Mausoleo del Espíritu Santo is designed to provide a serene and beautiful environment for visitors. It features fully covered resting areas with elegant skylights that illuminate the interior, creating a peaceful atmosphere suitable for reflection and remembrance. Guests will also be introduced to the beautiful Chapel Mausoleum of Nuestra Señora, which showcases ornate stained glass and exquisite artwork, including a centerpiece mosaic inspired by the Assumption of Mary.

Visitors will have the chance to meet with funeral planning advisors who will guide them through various burial and cremation options, providing valuable insights into pre-planning arrangements. This is an excellent opportunity for families to understand the different services available and receive personalized consultations.

Unique Mosaic Collection

The highlight of this Open House will be the unveiling of nine magnificent mosaics created by the international artists Alexander and Daniela Mandradjiev of Alexander Studio. Each mosaic represents a symbol of the Holy Spirit, including images of the Dove, Fire, Light, Water, Wind, Lamp, Hands, Clouds, and Oil. Crafted with thousands of Venetian glass tiles, precious stones, and 24-carat gold leaf, these artworks are more than just visual representations; they are prayers expressed in colors and light, inviting visitors into a sacred space.
