The passing of a loved one is such a difficult time, fraught with so many swirling emotions. Pre-planning for such moments is an act of love that helps alleviate the stress and anxiety that accompanies such challenging periods, while ensuring that
a loved one’s wishes are honored.
The forthcoming Mausoleum of St. Patrick will be constructed at the highest point of Gate of Heaven Cemetery, which is in Hawthorne, New York (25 miles from Manhattan, in Westchester County).
The new Mausoleum provides a dignified and spiritually enriching final resting space. Designed with classic architecture, tranquil surroundings, and perpetual care, it is a timeless tribute to faith and family, and an ideal sanctuary for everlasting life. The interior areas of the new Mausoleum are temperature controlled for your comfort during visits and Catholic services. Gate of Heaven Cemetery celebrates mass monthly in its chapel.
By securing space now, you and your family gain numerous benefits, including the assurance of a sacred Catholic burial site.
“It’s said that what really defines the human person is that we remember, and we dream. In a mausoleum, we’re always remembering those who we love, and we’re always dreaming of life everlasting. Mausoleums and cemeteries are not only places of consolation, but they are also places of teaching, as they remind us of the doctrine of everlasting life and the communion of saints, that we’re all part of a family that goes beyond space and time.”
—His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York
