Our story
Over 170 years
of service.
Evergreen Cemetery was incorporated on March 23, 1853, as one of the earliest rural garden cemeteries in the northeastern New Jersey metropolitan region. Our 115 park-like acres — listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1991 — are the resting place of author Stephen Crane, Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew creator Edward Stratemeyer, and generations of families from throughout Northern New Jersey and the greater New York metropolitan area.
