The cemetery was established in 1937 and has accepted 81,000 burials to the end of calendar year 2002, averaging 1,432 burials each year for the past 10 years.

This facility is located in East Hanover, Morris County, outside the boundary of the Archdiocese of Newark, but serves western Essex County in the center area of the Archdiocese.

The original parcel contains 128 acres, 100 of which are developed. In 1989 construction began on a 10,000 crypt Chapel Mausoleum. It continues to offer in-ground as well as private and community Chapel Mausoleum facilities.

A special group of crypts are now available at the Altar in the main chapel as well as new niches spaces in glass and marble.
