MAHWAH, N.J., Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The past year’s challenges have reminded many families of the importance of planning ahead. Losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult moments, bringing both sorrow and uncertainty. This fall, two special open house events—hosted on the same weekend—offer families a chance to find peace of mind, honor their Catholic faith, and secure exclusive savings.
Open House Weekend will take place on Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at:
- Maryrest Cemetery & Mausoleum, 770 Darlington Avenue, Mahwah, NJ
- Christ the King Cemetery, 980 Huron Road, Franklin Lakes, NJ
Both cemeteries, located in Bergen County near the New York State border, offer sacred and serene resting places for Catholic families.
Maryrest Cemetery & Mausoleum – Mahwah, NJ
The magnificent Chapel Mausoleum of the Resurrection features stunning stained-glass windows, marble crypts, and glass cremation niches. Families may also take part in monthly Masses, committal services, and other prayerful experiences.
Maryrest also offers outdoor options, including an Amish-styled gazebo committal section and New Jersey’s first Catholic natural/green burial section, surrounded by wildflowers, butterflies, and trees glowing with autumn color.
Christ the King Cemetery – Franklin Lakes, NJ
Just a few miles away, Christ the King Cemetery provides a tranquil, park-like sanctuary. Families will find traditional ground burial and cremation spaces with simple flat markers, preserving the natural beauty of the setting.
Considering Cremation?
If you have been keeping the cremated remains of a loved one at home, these open-house events present the perfect opportunity to give them the sacred and dignified resting place they deserve.
Why Attend?
During the open house, caring Memorial Planning Advisors will be available to answer questions and guide families through burial, cremation, memorialization, and financial planning options. Visitors will also have access to exclusive benefits, including 0% interest financing for up to 48 months.
Appointments are not required, but families are encouraged to complete the online form at the links below to help advisors better understand their needs.
