St. Mary's Cemetery and Mausoleum Genealogy Request Form .pdf

If you have a genealogy request for a cemetery or mausoleum other than St. Mary's, please contact the parish of the deceased for the genealogical records. Thank you.

The diocesan Department of Catholic Cemeteries is available to the many parish cemeteries for leadership, and sees its work, not as a business, but a work of mercy. The office offers:

• Full-time personnel to arrange for dignified interment services as part of the Christian burial ceremony
• Ground and building maintenance
• Careful record keeping

Jesus, Bread of Life Catholic Cemetery (pictured above) is now open for ground burials and inurnments and can provide temporary entombments during our mausoleum construction. Each of our ground spaces are double-depth and can accommodate two full casket burials. Our ground burial offerings feature flat marker sections as well as upright monument sections, providing families with choices for their eternal resting spaces.

Construction is well underway for our mausoleum which will feature 1,404 casket spaces in several different configurations; single, true companion, tandem and abbey crypts. The mausoleum will feature indoor and outdoor crypts, as well as indoor and outdoor niches, and glass niches in the interior.

Currently operating for ground burials of casketed and cremated remains, our mausoleum is under construction and at-need mausoleum families can temporarily entomb with us during the construction phase. Temporary entombments are currently at St. Mary's Cemetery and Mausoleum in Hamilton, NJ.

Along with our outdoor niches, the St. Anthony Garden Columbarium (pictured below) opened in the spring of 2016, and offers the added choice of a garden-like setting for families choosing cremation as their final disposition.
