Mount Pleasant Cemetery

Mount Pleasant Cemetery sits on 375 Broadway #375, Newark, NJ 07104, part of a broader lineage of historic resting grounds still shaping how the city remembers its past. The 57-acre cemetery hosts upright monuments, flat markers, and family plots along gently sloping grounds planted with mature trees. They maintain a veterans’ section coordinated with state guidelines, alongside private mausoleum buildings and standard in-ground interments. Gravestones mark graves from the 1850s onward, offering a tactile record of local families’ histories.

Families visit for traditional burials and grave markers as well as pre-need arrangements handled directly. Urn placement in columbarium niches is available, along with companion plots and private mausoleum spaces. Winter burials proceed through coordination with groundskeepers, while memorial services are typically scheduled during weekday hours. Records and plot searches can be requested in advance, enabling efficient planning.
