The Archdiocese of Newark has updated its directives regarding its Catholic cemeteries, including opening for Mother’s Day.

 

All archdiocesan cemeteries will be open Sunday for visitation from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and will be open for every following Sunday going forward.

Starting May 11, up to 10 family members will be permitted to attend a burial service, and beginning May 18, cemetery visitation will be allowed on Mondays through Saturdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

 

Memorial Day Masses at all archdiocesan cemeteries are postponed until further notice.

Anyone entering a cemetery or mausoleum must wear a face mask and practice social distancing. Signs will be posted in cemeteries.
