St. Joseph’s Cemetery

St. Joseph Cemetery is conveniently located on Hackensack Avenue, just a few blocks away from our parish church. Holy Trinity Church has helped to ensure this cemetery is a place grieving catholic families can go to respectfully bury their loved ones. Catholics celebrate the funeral rituals with care and reverence.
We do so because we value the body of the deceased. 
 
For this was a “body once washed in baptism, anointed with the oil of salvation and fed with the bread of life. This is the body whose hands clothed the poor and embraced the sorrowing.” (Reflections on the Body, Cremation, and Catholic Funeral Rites, Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy, 1997) 

 This is also the body of a person with whom we still have a relationship – the body of a parent, a sibling, a relative, a friend, a neighbor, a fellow Christian. Out of reverence for the human body, for our relationship with the deceased and for Jesus Christ the Lord of Life who conquered death, we celebrate these funeral rituals. For we are a people who believe that relationships, and the obligations and bonds that come with them, continue beyond death.
