The time of the observance of the Easter Triduum [Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday] in the Roman Catholic tradition does not permit the celebration of the church’s full liturgical rights [Funeral Mass] for the dead. Therefore special accommodations and individual decisions are always required for individuals whose liturgical services would fall on any of these days; the Archdiocese of Newark Catholic Cemeteries accepts the directives of the Archdiocese and accommodates the desires of the pastor of the parish in these circumstances.
*On Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, the gates hours are extended until 6pm. (Non-holiday hours until 5pm)
* Between April 15th and September 15th cemetery gates will be open until 7:00 PM on Wednesdays (*Visiting hours inside mausoleums till 6:30pm)
While Memorial Planning Advisors will be available at the mausoleum offices to assist families with cemetery and mausoleum needs everyday except Christmas Day, please be aware of the following:

Nor does the Archdiocese of Newark perform interment services on the following holy days or days of special religious observance: the Feast of the Nativity [Christmas] and the Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God [New Year’s Day].
