A New Addition: The Open-Air Mausoleum of the Holy Family

Construction is under way on the Open-Air Mausoleum of the Holy Family, a state-of-the-art, campus-style addition to Saint Gertrude. Features include:

  • Luxurious indoor and open-air crypts

Open house hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. both days at 53 Inman Avenue, Colonia. This is the last chance to save with 0% financing for 48 months at Saint Gertrude until 2027; the offer ends Sunday, Oct. 25.

The future Open-Air Mausoleum of the Holy Family at Saint Gertrude Cemetery features an elegant granite facade, illuminated liturgical mosaics, and a cross-topped entrance with a glass skylight. Landscaped walkways and benches invite families to visit, reflect, and honor their loved ones.

Inside the future Open-Air Mausoleum of the Holy Family, magnificent crypts and niches surround new mosaics depicting the Nativity and the Wedding at Cana. A glass skylight fills the space with natural light, creating a bright and peaceful setting for prayer and remembrance.

The ministry of Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark exists to meet the needs of individuals and families before, at the time of death and burial, and throughout bereavement. By setting aside a holy place for burial, we provide a fitting environment for full liturgical celebrations. Just as in life, we believe that in death the human body deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. We also foster a type of remembering that is enlightened by faith and sees death as a bridge to the communion of saints. Our bonds with the believing are not broken by death.
