COLONIA, N.J., April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As we enter the Easter season—a time of renewal, hope, and the promise of eternal life—Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark warmly invites the community to experience the sacred peace and spiritual beauty of Saint Gertrude Cemetery & Mausoleum. Join us for a special Open House Weekend on Saturday, April 26, and Sunday, April 27, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at our award-winning location at 53 Inman Avenue, Colonia, NJ.
Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the newly constructed Chapel Mausoleum of the Resurrection, a modern, church-like facility designed to inspire prayer, reflection, and remembrance. The mausoleum features 18 exquisite works of sacred art, including a powerful statue of the Resurrected Christ, elegant marble crypts, glass-front cremation niches, and a breathtaking stained-glass dome above the altar in the Chapel of the Resurrection, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Beneath the dome rests a marble altar adorned with bronze statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Twelve Apostles, commemorating Pentecost.
This peaceful and spiritually enriching space also includes the newly opened Chapel of the Ascension, a serene area dedicated exclusively to cremation interments, featuring a striking stained-glass image of Christ ascending into Heaven.
Throughout the weekend, our caring and professional Memorial Planning Advisors will be on hand to provide information and answer questions about:
- Burial and cremation options
- Traditional and cremation memorialization
- Interest-free financing plans available exclusively during this Open House
With a scheduled price increase beginning April 28, this is a limited-time opportunity for families to secure burial arrangements at 2024 pricing with flexible, budget-friendly payment options.
Appointments are not required, but space is limited. To help us welcome you with personalized care, we encourage you to complete the brief form online at:
