The part of a West New York death that outsiders miss is what happens after the funeral. In a town where most households trace back to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Mexico or El Salvador, a great many families keep a novenario: nine consecutive evenings of rosary, held not in a chapel but in the family's own apartment, ending in a Mass. That changes what a sympathy order is for. The flowers are not decoration for a ninety-minute service; they are the only thing in a small living room that says the household is in mourning, and they are looked at every night for over a week by people who arrive after work, stand in the kitchen doorway and leave at ten. Practical consequences follow. Anything sent to a home here needs to hold for nine days in a warm apartment with the radiators on, which argues for a compact vase arrangement or a potted plant over anything cut tall and thirsty. It needs to survive a fourth-floor climb up a turning stair with no elevator — that is the standard West New York apartment building, walk-up brick with a vestibule and a bank of bells. And it needs somewhere to stand: not a lobby console, but the top of a television or the end of a dining table already carrying coffee and a photograph. Size the piece to the surface, not to the sentiment. A funeral here usually runs across three separate places before the novenario even begins. A viewing at a funeral home on one of the numbered streets or an avenue — these are storefront and rowhouse buildings on a permit-parking block rather than campuses with a canopy and a lot, so a large piece is carried in past whoever is already standing in the doorway, which is the argument for landing it in the quiet half-hour before a viewing rather than in the middle of one. Then a funeral Mass, very often at St. Joseph of the Palisades at 6401 Palisade Avenue, the parish that has anchored the uptown blocks for generations and where the liturgy is frequently in Spanish. Then a drive out of town, because West New York contains no cemetery of any kind. When you order, name the building: a chapel, a church and an apartment want three different things, and the note field is where a shop learns which one it is sending to.
Nine consecutive evenings of rosary in the family's own living room, kept by many Cuban, Dominican, Ecuadorian and Colombian households here. The piece has to survive a heated apartment for over a week, climb a turning stair with no elevator, and stand on a dining table that is already full.
The uptown parish that carries a large share of West New York funeral Masses, frequently in Spanish. A morning Mass here runs straight into a procession out of town; anything meant for the burial is staged the night before and rides out with the family rather than following them.
Storefront and rowhouse buildings on permit-parking blocks rather than campuses with a canopy and a lot. There is no service entrance — a large piece is carried in past whoever is already in the doorway, which is why the hour matters more than the size. Aim for the quiet half-hour before a viewing opens.
The nearest burial ground to West New York is the row of cemeteries along Tonnelle Avenue down the western slope, Flower Hill and the city-owned Hoboken Cemetery at 5500 Tonnelle among them. Nothing catches the procession once it leaves town, so graveside pieces are staged the night before.
Catholic interments frequently go out to Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington, which serves the Archdiocese of Newark, or south to Holy Name Cemetery and New York Bay Cemetery in Jersey City. Put the cemetery name in the note so the timing is built backwards from the committal.
The hospital at the bottom of the cliff in North Bergen, where many West New York families spend the last days before a service is arranged. For a palliative or intensive-care room, ring the unit before ordering. Several of them decline flowers outright, and learning that at the lobby desk wastes an afternoon the family does not have.
