Grief in Union City runs on a longer clock than a single afternoon, and an order placed without knowing that usually arrives at the wrong address. The sequence most families here follow starts at a funeral home on one of the long avenues — Kennedy Boulevard, Bergenline, Park — in a building that is a converted rowhouse or a two-storey commercial front with a chapel room behind the display window, not a campus with a canopy and a parking apron. Viewing hours are typically split, an afternoon window and an evening one, and the evening window is the crowded one because this is a city where most adults work an hourly shift or commute across the river. Then comes the Mass, and in Union City the Mass is frequently said in Spanish: St. Augustine's on New York Avenue and the other Catholic parishes on the ridge carry most of the funeral liturgy, while a substantial share of services now happen in the Pentecostal and evangelical congregations that occupy storefronts up and down Bergenline Avenue, where the order of service is different and the flowers are usually fewer and lower. Then the cars leave town, because they have to. No burial ground sits within Union City's 1.3 square miles — this is the most crowded city of its size in America, and the land went to housing a century ago. Interment happens at one of the grounds lining Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen, with Flower Hill, Grove Church, Machpelah, Weehawken Cemetery and the Hoboken Cemetery all on that stretch, or at Holy Name Cemetery on the Jersey City side, Holy Cross in North Arlington, or Fairview Cemetery over the Fairview line. One rule follows from that, and it is the one people get wrong: the procession forms outside the funeral home and does not come back, so anything meant for the grave must be in the building the night before and ride out with everybody else. And then, in a great many Union City households, the novenario begins — nine consecutive evenings of rosary in the family's own apartment, neighbours and cousins filling a living room built for six. That is where flowers do their longest work here, and it is a nine-day window, not a two-hour one.
Union City's funeral trade sits in converted rowhouses and two-storey commercial fronts along the long north-south avenues, with a chapel room behind the display window. No canopy, no parking apron, no service door. Deliver before a viewing window opens rather than into it.
One of the ridge parishes carrying the city's funeral Masses, a large share of them said in Spanish. Morning services run straight into a procession that leaves the city, so anything intended for the grave has to be staged at the funeral home the night before.
Union City's Pentecostal and evangelical churches occupy street-level storefronts along Bergenline Avenue and the numbered cross streets, and hold a growing share of memorial services. Expect fewer and lower pieces than a Catholic Mass; ask the church office before sending anything tall.
Flower Hill, Grove Church, Machpelah, Weehawken Cemetery and the Hoboken Cemetery sit in a line off Tonnelle Avenue, the nearest burial ground to a city that has none of its own. Sunset Flowers on Bergen Blvd. in Ridgefield is the closest shop in the network to this stretch.
The two larger Catholic cemeteries Union City families use when the Tonnelle row is not the plan. Both are a drive off the ridge and out of Hudson County traffic, which is why graveside pieces travel with the procession instead of being delivered to the gate.
Nine consecutive evenings of rosary in the family's own living room, standard in many Union City households. Send low and long-lasting — a compact vase or an untended plant — because an easel piece cannot come up a staircase that doubles back, and a long narrow flat has nowhere to stand it.
