Gate of Heaven is a large, modern cemetery located at 1056 Daniels Farm Road in Trumbull, Connecticut. It has a serene setting with a pond and you may sometimes spot wildlife around the perimeter. All stones in the cemetery must be flat; you will see no grand monuments here. There is a chapel/columbarium on site and some crosses breaking up the otherwise level landscape. As stated, this is a modern cemetery, very much still in use.

Estimated number of interments, as of February 2025: at least 8886.

UPDATE (29 March 2024):

Gate of Heaven recently built a new columbarium (a place where ashes are interred). I recently snapped a couple of quick photos with my iPhone during a recent visit. They are at the bottom of the page.
