How timely to institute an artificial flowers only rule, while offering a gift shop to accommodate this. Seasonal floral arrangements available soon.... They'll be recycled I assume. It's all about $$$ Gnats? Give me a break. Have your staff deal with drying flowers or institute a 24-48 hr window-bring flowers, they will be disposed of in that time frame If I could have broken the glass, I'd have taken my father out of there today.

After my late father's surprise passing away, we were surprised by this part of the process, his…read morefinal burial place. We had the loose idea he wanted to keep it simple for his surviving family members and to be near the kids, me, so we naturally chose SHMP whose local reputation across decades is well known for reliable, respectful, and professional administration. I can after buying 2 niches (these are burial spots in a columbarium which is for urns whereas a mausoleum is for caskets), say the staff here are so totally gentle, gracious, fair, and understanding. The immense many emotions which surround the such are complex, but our initial outreach with coordinator Ennio is beyond reproach with his deep personal empathy and big heart for all patrons' human stories. Gina W. the administrator is totally on par with all the many paperwork and regulatory bits which could be a drag but she makes it all aplomb with a kind heart. The property and all its details are so thoughtfully decorated. All maintenance and facilities are so highly done as to instill high confidence. We chose the "Clearview" niches which have a clear view of the ground soutside, as the name implies. The famously beautiful views from the hills of Ridge across the Watchung Mountains towards the south and west are childhood faves for me and lifelong faves for my father so we are so totally comforted that he shall forever look out to the beloved area. It means a lot to us that the staff exhibit the care to make the view happen with perfect beauty daily. Thank you to all the staff for so much compassion and care for our father's resting place. We visit regularly to accompany him and also to enjoy his new surroundings together.

On Friday, February 6, 2026, my family laid to rest my dear sister, resting in peace next to her…read morebeloved husband. Driving into the cemetery, after a rather long, arduous drive on parkway north, we entered a beautiful, peaceful catholic cemetery.. so lovely, I thought. Unfortunately, I had to deal with two women working in the cemetery office. As we approached the counter, the workers took their sweet time to address us. Then unfortunately, this troll-like woman, whom I believe was Lydia, rummaged through our paperwork with much distain and rudeness. She was without a doubt, the most ignorant, and despicable person I unfortunately had to encounter. Believe me, these were especially trying times for myself and family. However, the other employee came to the counter and resolved the issue, which I might add, was caused by their office giving the funeral director of Evergreen Funeral Home, Middletown,NJ., incorrect or not specific requirements needed for the paperwork. Here's a thought Lydia, if you are so unhappy being employed by the Archdiocese, Gate of Heaven Cemetery, in which you deal with bereaved families , you should seek employment more suitable to your demeanor and personality...such as a garbage depot. ja

Want to say "Thank You" to Father Joe, the new Chaplain at the cemetery. When I dropped by the…read moreMausoleum to say a prayer in the chapel I noticed a table set up near the entrance where Father Joe had a sign introducing himself as the Chaplain, offering to say a prayer for those whose names could be written on paper provided and asking visitors to take one of the crosses on a mirror on the table. I planned to return to the Mausoleum after visiting the graves of my relatives to get a cross before leaving. While I was at the gravesite of a loved one, a car pulled up and Father Joe introduced himself. He requested that I write a name down of a loved one who he could pray for and he gave me a Holy Spirit Pin to hold onto. He felt like so genuine a human being and meeting him lifted my spirits and felt so comforting. Father Joe seems like a truly welcome addition to Gate of Heaven and it is so wonderful to personally experience how he is making himself available for spiritual guidance to visitors

I came across Inpeace. The care of the team and also the flexibility made them the ultimate choice that I ended up going with. They have a quick turn around time to have your loved one cremated rather than waiting weeks to get your loved one the rest that they truly need. They were also very flexible with the payment method specially when you need to get the process moving. Any questions I had was answered with confidence or if they did not know, they would look for the answer and get back to me as soon as they were able. If you are going through what I am going through, I highly recommend Inpeace as the premier cremation service without any doubt.
