Explore Sacred Art and Affordable Burial Planning Options at Catholic Cemeteries' Fall Open Houses
In a year marked by challenges, how do you want to be remembered? The Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark are inviting families to explore options for honoring their loved ones with dignity and peace of mind during their upcoming Fall Open Houses. Scheduled across several counties, including Essex, Union, Bergen, Hudson, and Middlesex, these events aim to relieve the stress associated with last-minute burial decisions.
The Fall Open House weekend will be held at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery and Mausoleum in East Hanover, NJ, on September 13 and 14, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Visitors will have the chance to admire the beautiful surroundings which include marble crypts and glass niches bespoke for cremation, as well as a stunning two-story mosaic of the Risen Christ. Best of all, families can benefit from an exclusive 0% financing offer for 48 months during this event, a deal that lasts only until September 15, 2025.
Among the new attractions is the 20-foot 'Pietà Rondanini' statue which greets visitors at the entrance, providing a powerful symbol of faith and eternal life. Attendees can expect to discover a life-sized statue of St. Padre Pio standing at the mausoleum’s entrance and 14 meticulously restored Stations of the Cross from St. Peter’s Church in Newark—a testament to the reverence and respect afforded to both the departed and their families.
Additionally, guests are encouraged to walk through the newly expanded Resurrection Mausoleum Chapel featuring a vibrant custom-made two-story mosaic of Jesus rising from the tomb, crafted by Mellini Art and Glass Mosaics from Florence, Italy. This chapel is designed to serve as a sacred space where families can find solace as they remember and honor their loved ones. Visitors can view photos and videos showcasing these exceptional features at www.GateofHeavenCemetery.org.
The Fall Open Houses not only present an opportunity for families to access affordable planning, but also an experience of spiritual significance through the exploration of sacred art and the facilities available. By considering burial and cremation options, families can create a lasting legacy and ensure that their loved ones are honored in a setting that reflects their values.
