ABOUT US
PETER A. BLACKSBERG - President
I have the honor of being the 4th generation President of Riverside Cemetery. Though many aspects of the Jewish community have changed since the beginning of the 20th century, the fundamental purpose of Riverside remains the same; to honor the mitzvah of Jewish burial with all the dignity and respect each person deserves. It is in this spirit that we wish to make your experience when visiting the cemetery, as timely, professional, dignified and comforting as possible.
Our prayer book, edited by Rabbi Stephen M. Wylen, contains text for funerals and unveilings, and writings of meditation. You will also find a complete price list as well as information on purchasing gravesites here. Please contact me directly with your questions regarding any aspect of our cemetery.
KENNETH STUDER - Vice President
Mr. Studer manages all aspects of the day-to-day operations of Riverside Cemetery, from office staff to field personnel. With over 35 years of experience here at Riverside, Mr. Studer has had personal experience with each facet of the cemetery's operations, and is able to bring that experience to bear on the challenges of running the facility. Mr. Studer holds an accounting degree from William Paterson University.
