Rosedale is ideally located in the city of Linden, in Union County, New Jersey. Although Rosedale is tucked away in a quiet place where seclusion and peace prevail, only thirteen miles away is Manhattan in the nation's largest city, New York. Linden also borders the beautiful Staten Island, another borough of New York City.

While Linden is located next to one of the most famous cities in the world, the area itself is filled with history that dates back centuries. In 1609, Linden was first visited by European explorers who described the area as being ?pleasant, with grass and flowers and goodly trees.? Over the years, Linden has been occupied by many different types of people, from Native Americans to some of the nation's first settlers. Yet, it has always retained the lovely, natural surroundings which first appealed to the European explorers.

Beautiful lawns, large shade trees and flowering shrubs continue to thrive and grow throughout the grounds of Rosedale Cemetery. The breathtaking lawns, replete with lovely statues and fountains, give family and friends a special place to visit to remember their loved ones. The nature-filled surroundings were created and are maintained to assist visitors in finding solitude and calm amidst the backdrop of a local urban setting.

Maybe it's the beautiful setting, the professional, caring service or the feeling of peace that brings people to choose Rosedale. Such famous occupants as artist, Helen West Heller, jazz trumpet player, Theodore ?Fats? Navarro Jr., and blues musician, Rosco Gordon, are interred upon its grounds; the lawns of Rosedale beckon to all who are looking for such a special final resting place.

Paying honor to and commemorating the lives of those in repose is priority at Rosedale Cemetery. With its commitment to supporting families in their time of need and creating a exceptional place for family and friends to reflect and remember, Rosedale Cemetery's service and beautiful grounds are without equal.
