Award-Winning Holy Cross Cemetery to Host Open House October 15-16

Open House will Highlight Zero Percent Financing for 48 Months

NORTH ARLINGTON, N.J., Oct. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark will host several open house events throughout Essex, Union, Bergen, Hudson, and Middlesex counties this fall to help Catholics gain knowledge and confidence before a difficult time arises for families. 

"A time of loss is a time of confusion, and final arrangements do not have to add to the uncertainty," says Andrew P. Schafer, Executive Director of the Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark. "The worries of last-minute burial arrangements should not become part of a family's grieving process, especially when experiencing profound sorrow. We reach out regularly to families to inform them about the valuable benefits of pre-planning."

The next open house weekend will take place Saturday, October 15, and Sunday, October 16, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Holy Cross Cemetery and Mausoleum in North Arlington, N.J. in Bergen County, just 10 miles from New York City. During the open house, visitors will learn the long-term benefits of pre-planning, including protecting their loved one's legacy and access to financing options such as 0 percent interest for 48 months.

Holy Cross Cemetery is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the 2017-2018 American Cemetery Excellence Award. The award, presented by American Cemetery & Cremation magazine, a funeral and cemetery industry publication, recognizes the most outstanding cemeteries worldwide. It offers a park-like setting, exquisite artwork, modern technology, and a faith-inspired atmosphere with grand views of the New York City skyline.

To learn more, watch the new drone video at www.HolyCross-Cemetery.org or stop by the cemetery. Memorial planning advisors will meet with visitors to share information about burial and cremation options, memorialization, and financial planning. There is no obligation or appointment necessary.
