Terms of Use

Terms for using this website.

These terms govern your use of the Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory website and the online services it provides. By using this site, you agree to them. Last updated July 2, 2026.

Who we are

This website is operated by Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory, located at 1137 North Broad Street, Hillside, NJ 07205.

Use of the website

You may use this website for lawful, personal, and professional purposes related to our services — arranging burial or cremation, planning ahead, researching family history, locating a grave, or contacting our office. You agree not to misuse the site, including by submitting false or misleading information, attempting to access non-public areas or accounts, scraping or bulk-downloading records, circumventing rate limits or security measures, or interfering with the site's operation.

Grave locator and burial records

The free grave locator searches a digital index of our historical interment records. While we work hard to keep the index accurate, records spanning more than 170 years may contain errors, omissions, or variant spellings, and the digital index may not include every interment. Results are provided for personal reference and do not constitute a certified record. For confirmed information, documentation, or archival research, please use our genealogy research service or contact the office.

Genealogy research fee

Staff genealogy research is subject to a $25 research fee per request, payable online or by phone. The fee covers staff research time and is non-refundable, including when no matching record is found. Standard requests are typically processed within 10 business days; archival research in older ledgers may take longer.

Payments

Online payments are processed by Stripe. By submitting a payment you authorize the charge described at checkout. Questions about a charge should be directed to our office at 908.352.7940.

No professional advice

Content on this website — including the planning guide and frequently asked questions — is general information, not legal or financial advice. Funeral, burial, and pre-need arrangements are governed by New Jersey law and by the specific terms of any written agreement you enter into with the cemetery.

Intellectual property

The text, images, maps, and design of this website belong to Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory or its licensors. You may print or save pages for personal use. Any other reproduction or distribution requires our written permission.

Third-party links and services

The site may link to third-party services (for example, map providers, payment processing, or grief-support organizations). Those services have their own terms and privacy practices, which we do not control.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The website is provided "as is." To the fullest extent permitted by law, Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory disclaims warranties of any kind regarding the website and its content, and is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, or affects the terms of any written interment, purchase, or pre-need agreement.

Changes

We may revise these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
