The Holy Scriptures teach that death
is part of the natural process to an ultimate union with God. Because
of our Catholic faith, we believe that burial in a Catholic cemetery
demonstrates love and respect for the deceased, and leads us to an
eternal union with God’s love. As part of the parish faith
community, the Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese extend to family
members the same comfort and consolation as the parish.
Serving the Catholic Community since
1853, the Archdiocese has 10 cemeteries that are operated by men and
women who share the traditions and teachings of the Church. Our
counselors stand ready to help you in your time of grief and can also
assist you with preparing for the future. They welcome your call, and
can speak with you at your convenience.
The cemetery is an extension of the
Church that ministers to our grief as the Church ministers to our
faith. Being buried in the sacred grounds of a Catholic cemetery is an
assertion of faith for both the deceased and their loved ones.
With
every good wish, I am
Sincerely in the Lord
Archbishop of Newark
