Located at 823 West Side Avenue in Jersey City, Holy Name Cemetery & Mausoleum remains Jersey City’s only Catholic cemetery with space available, continuing its long tradition of serving families with dignity, compassion and faith.
The free, no-obligation open house weekend offers visitors the opportunity to tour the peaceful grounds of the cemetery and mausoleum, learn more about Catholic burial and cremation options, and meet in person with helpful memorial planning advisors who can answer questions and guide families through the pre-planning process.
“Preplanning is one of the most thoughtful and loving decisions families can make for each other,” said Joseph Heckel, executive director of Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark. “It provides peace of mind, eliminates uncertainty in difficult times and allows loved ones to make important decisions together with clarity, dignity and faith.”
During the open house weekend, families will also have access to special event-only savings and flexible financing opportunities. Visitors who make arrangements during the event can lock in prices for 2025 before prices increase after the conclusion of the spring open season on May 18.
Holy Name Cemetery & Mausoleum features a beautiful park-like setting, traditional burial spaces, private family estate options, chapel mausoleum crypts and glass-fronted cremation niches designed to provide a sacred and prayerful place of remembrance.
Families can also explore the ministry’s newly redesigned website at www.rcancem.org/open-house/holy-namefeaturing simplified navigation, high-definition images and Gabriel, the fully conversational Virtual Angel Assistant, available 24 hours a day to help visitors learn more about cemetery locations, services and pre-planning options.
No appointments are necessary, and families can attend any time during event hours.
