Niches for Cremations

-
Studies have shown that more people are choosing to be cremated rather than traditional, in-ground burial. The Catholic church does support cremation and encourages all families to bring the cremated remains of their loved ones to a Catholic Cemetery for burial or entombment. By bringing your cremated remains to our Catholic cemetery you provide family and friends with a place where they can visit, pray and pay their respects.
Calvary Cemetery offers niches for your loved one's cremated remains. The glass niches pictured below are located in Mausoleum building 3.
The 12" niche accommodates one urn and is recommended for one person. The 18" and 24" niche accomodates two urns and is perfect for two people.
Call 973-279-2900 to speak with a cemetery representative and receive all the information you need to make an informed decision. Secure the location you love, at the price that meets your budget.Call 973-279-2900 to schedule an appointment.
