Serving Newark, NJ

A resting place
near Newark.

The growth of Newark in the late 1800s shaped Evergreen Cemetery — new sections were opened in the 1880s to serve Newark families, and the city has remained one of the communities we serve most closely ever since.

Services for Newark families

Newark families choose Evergreen for the same reasons their great-grandparents did: a historic garden cemetery minutes from the city, with burial, cremation, mausoleum, and columbarium options on one grounds.

Our on-site crematory serves Newark families directly and through the city's funeral homes, with cremation, niches, and urn burial handled in one place. Descendants researching Newark family history will find our records reach back to 1853.

Getting here from Newark

From Newark, the cemetery is a short drive south — most families come down Frelinghuysen Avenue or US 1&9 to North Broad Street in Hillside. Public transit riders can reach us via NJ Transit bus lines serving the Broad Street corridor.
