Gates Of Heaven is a beautiful place... Death is difficult…read moreenough, so to have kind people help you through the process, such as Wanda and Lydia, makes a huge difference. Across the street, at Hancliffe Funeral Home, you will find the same kindness.. Owned by the Porter Family, the facility is perfect and I will forever be in debt to Michael, the Funeral Director who took care of my every need and of course, I knew mother was in the best care possible and I could move forward.

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
