Holy Sepulchre Cemetery & Mausoleum is a sacred resting place dedicated to the memory of our dearly departed. The right of burial, or entombment, is conveyed through the burial, or entombment, privilege certificate. The ownership of land resides with the cemetery, and thus the responsibility for uniformity, public safety and beautification rests with cemetery personnel.
Cemetery employees work in the various sections of the cemetery on a regular basis. As part of their responsibilities, they maintain the beauty and safety of the cemetery. As instructed by the Cemetery Rules & Regulations, to ensure their safety, and the safety of all who visit the cemetery, they are expected to remove decorations which are not in compliance, and pose a safety hazard to cemetery staff and visitors.
Decorations may also be removed by either of these causes. As it is impossible for employees to be everywhere at all times, the cemetery cannot assume liability for decorations. When items are blown about, the grounds crew has no choice but to dispose of them as replacement at specific sites is not possible.
The following cemetery Rules and Regulations were established in 1992, and are posted at four entrances of the cemetery.
Visiting Hours are from 7:00 am until 5:00 pm daily.
Planting is limited to within one foot in front of the monument.
Artificial flowers are permitted ONLY from November 1 to March 31.
Christmas decorations are removed February 1, weather permitting.
Flags are permitted from Memorial Day to July 4.
Shrubs, Azaleas, Statues, Vases, Coping or Fencing of any kind are not permitted.
Management is not responsible for any decorations.
No food or beverages permitted on the property.
Thank you for your cooperation and compliance with the cemetery Rules and Regulations.
Kindly refrain from adhering any cards or decorations to the crypts. Adhesives leave a permanent stain on the crypt-front that cannot be removed and, ultimately damage the marble or granite stone. Only artificial flowers installed in vases are permitted. Bronze vases are available for purchase by contacting the office at (973) 942-3368.

Flags are permitted from Memorial Day until Independence Day (July 4th).
If your deceased family member was a veteran and a registered member of a local VFW, American Legion, or other veteran organization, they will place a flag at the gravesite. You are welcome to place a flag at their gravesite. Flags may also be purchased at local flag stores like Apollo Flags on Union Boulevard inTotowa.
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs provides guidelines for display of the flag, and specifically state the American flag should never touch anything beneath it (i.e., ground, floor, water, merchandise, etc. ). If you happen to see a flag touching the ground, please pick it up and place the post properly into the ground to ensure it is secure and upright.
Holy Sepulchre works closely with local veteran organizations that will return to the cemetery to remove the flags within the two weeks after Independence Day. Depending on their physical condition and appearance, the flags will be put in storage and used again next year.
Please note, while the flags are removed from gravesites after the permitted time period as noted in the cemetery's rules and regulations, the American flag is displayed year-round in Section S and Section 15.
Thank you to all who have placed flags at the gravesite of our veterans! God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
