Top 10 Cemeteries in New York, United States
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

As one of the first rural cemeteries in the United States, Forest Lawn – located in Buffalo, NY – is at the heart of Western New York’s cultural tourism renaissance. Its first interment took place in 1849; today there are more than 161,000 permanent residents in this 269-acre, non-denominational, non-sectarian, not-for-profit cemetery. Forest Lawn offers year-round guided tours on various themes and subjects, educational programming,special veteran programming and so much more.

Forest Lawn Cemetery is a beautifully landscaped burial ground to some of Buffalo's most famous residents, including President Millard Fillmore and his wife Abigail, Red Jacket, a Seneca Indian Chief, Sara Hinson a school teacher who began Flag Day, and Rick James a rock star, to name just a few. You can take a self-guided walking tour or one offered by the staff. There are beautiful monuments, family mausoleums, tress and ponds throughout the 269 acres. It is a great place for a walk, run or a picnic.

It may seem a bit creepy but I love this place because of its beauty and serenity. Green Wood is notable for the number of celebrated and famous people buried there. Yet it's a place for the living--the landscape, the monuments and Victorian statutory and vintage headstones make it an outdoor museum that transports you to a bygone era. One could get lost there along its many winding paths-- signage not withstanding. On one secluded hilltop, I even saw a contemporary yet bucolic scene of a family lazing on the grass for an afternoon near loved ones. Whether your loved one is among the famous or not, it's one of the finest and most beautiful spots in Brooklyn. See it to believe it...acres and acres, so get a map. It's worth the trip!

Visiting here was a very moving experience. All the white headstones are lined up in orderly rows, magnificent. This is NOT to be confused with Woodlawn cemetery where Mark Twain is buried despite other reviews saying so. This is a National veterans cemetery right next to the other one. There are over 2,500 confederate soldiers buried here among the 10,000 + graves. They were victims of poor conditions and over crowding at the Elmira Prison during the civil war. The cemetery is excellently maintained.

Pet cemetery is always clean & well taken care of. Parking is small, but never seem to have an issue, for people come & go in enough time for others to pay their respects.

Some of the characters in Irving's Legend can be found buried in this cemetery.

Sometimes we forget about the rich history of our nation so close to home. After reading a book that took place in Tarrytown and referencing the headless horseman and the legends of Sleepy Hallow this became an educational trip to bring the story to life. The fact that the church of such a well known story can accessed so easily makes the Sleepy Hollow stories so much more realistic, because you can say for the scenes that happen in and around the church, "I've been there". My title is that the church was originally erected in 1697. There are very few standing artifacts in this country that can claim an origination date before the 1700s, so this is quite special.
