Thanks for the reply. We checked at the church itself, no recs of burial or service found. Could be due to the "sin of suicide". Couldn't be buried in their Cath Cem, or have a Cath Church funeral service there.
The St Mary's Ch isn't connected to the Newark diocese (at least so we've been told), it's Slovak based, more Eastern Orthodox than RC. What we really need is his obit or death notice, which may state burial site etc.
Are there NJ Passaic Co Death Indexes by year on micro fiche or microfilm available? Even in back-ward FL they have microfilmed their deaths by Co & year from 1800 to date. We'll keep trying. Jerry
