Cedar Grove Cemetery (Queens)

Cedar Grove Cemetery is a non-denominational cemetery located in Flushing, Queens, New York City. It is one of the several historic cemeteries that comprise the Cemetery of the Evergreens complex, a large interconnected burial ground sprawling across the border between Brooklyn and Queens.

Cedar Grove Cemetery was officially established in 1883 as an extension of the Cemetery of the Evergreens. It was intended to provide more burial space as the Cemetery of the Evergreens was nearing capacity. While sharing administrative ties and a contiguous landscape with the Cemetery of the Evergreens, Cedar Grove retains its own distinct identity and sections.

The cemetery features a variety of burial options, including traditional ground burials, mausoleums, and cremation niches. Its landscaping incorporates mature trees, winding pathways, and memorial structures.

Notable burials within Cedar Grove Cemetery include individuals from various walks of life, reflecting the diverse population of Queens and the wider New York City area. Research is ongoing to identify and document the significant figures interred within its grounds.

The cemetery is actively maintained and offers services for interments, memorialization, and genealogical research. It continues to serve as a final resting place for individuals and families in the region.
