Cedar Park, Beth El Cemetery, Sanctuary of Abraham & Sarah Mausoleum

What Cedar Park, Beth El Cemetery, Sanctuary of Abraham & Sarah Mausoleum does

Cedar Park and Beth El Cemeteries, together with the Sanctuary of Abraham & Sarah Mausoleum, operate a Jewish cemetery and mausoleum portfolio headquartered at 735 Forest Avenue in Paramus, New Jersey (mailing address: P.O. Box 329, Westwood, NJ). The business was founded over 75 years ago and serves tens of thousands of Jewish families from across the New York metropolitan area. Its physical footprint comprises two in-ground burial cemeteries (Cedar Park and Beth El) offering single graves, double graves, companion graves, and family plots across sections such as Gardens of Ramah, Maple Parks, and Memorial Park, plus the Sanctuary of Abraham & Sarah Mausoleum — described as the largest Jewish all-indoor mausoleum on the East Coast. The mausoleum offers a tiered product ladder including Single and Double Crypts, True Companion Crypts, Ultimate Companion Crypts, Semi-Private Recessed Alcoves, and Private Family Rooms (12, 24, or 36 crypt configurations), all finished in Italian marble with cast bronze lettering, alongside glass-front and marble-front cremation niches.

The company monetizes primarily through one-time memorial property purchases (upfront sale of crypts, niches, family plots) with no recurring care fees required for mausoleum crypt owners, supplemented by a recurring seasonal/perpetual care subscription stream for ground burial maintenance. Go-to-market is sales-led via dedicated memorial counselors offering private consultations at the cemetery office and via phone (201-262-1100) and email; the company website functions as the top-of-funnel information and lead-capture channel. Recent strategic activity has centered on physical capacity expansion, most notably the 2024 completion of Building 6 at the mausoleum and the Star of David Marble Niche Columbarium, alongside operational modernization through an online seasonal care bill payment portal. No AI, software platform, or technology product beyond standard website and payments infrastructure is part of the offering.
