Nestled in a woodland setting of complete solitude and natural beauty to all who enter the gates. Restland Memorial Park located in East Hanover, New Jersey is over a hundred acres of perfectly manicured grounds making this an Oasis to those who visit. Restland was founded in 1932 by the Dowd Family and now is considered the oldest Memorial Park in the New Jersey Metropolitan area.

Finding a specific marker here is rather difficult unless you know exactly where it is or asking in the main office. I have relatives here that I couldn't find and the office was closed at the time I visited. Large above ground headstones are not permitted here in order to keep this Oasis a park like setting without obstructions.

In the heart of God's Acre stands a breathtaking chapel, constructed in 1937. This stone edifice is a true replica of St. Giles Church at Stokes Pogis, Buckinghamshire, England. which dates from the 12th century.

Inside this remarkable chapel are several rows of hand carved pews and altar furnishings enclosed within its weathered stone walls. Hand crafted wrought iron and lovely stained glass windows along with themed plagues scattered about the stone flooring of those who's ashes lay. This chapel is quintessential to the look and feel of this sanctuary.
