Pre-Need Planning

Plan ahead.
Give your family peace of mind.

Making arrangements in advance is one of the most thoughtful decisions a person can make. It removes uncertainty during a difficult time and allows you to make choices that reflect your own wishes.

Why plan ahead?

Pre-need planning gives you control over the decisions that matter most — burial location, service type, memorial preferences — at a time when you can reflect calmly rather than in a moment of grief.

Burial options

Evergreen Cemetery offers traditional in-ground burial in a variety of sections, as well as above-ground entombment in our mausoleum. Our staff will walk you through available spaces, monument options, and ongoing care.

Cremation arrangements

Our on-site crematory provides direct cremation, cremation with memorial service, and pre-arranged cremation trusts. Cremated remains may be interred, placed in a columbarium niche, or returned to the family.

Pre-need trust & payment

New Jersey law requires that pre-need cemetery funds be held in trust, protecting your investment. We work with licensed trust companies to administer your arrangement. There is no obligation to purchase until you are ready.

We encourage families to take the time they need. Our staff is here to answer questions — not to sell. There is no pressure and no timeline.
