Cedar Grove Cemetery is a nonsectarian cemetery in Flushing, Queens, New York. The cemetery occupies the former Spring Hill estate of colonial governor Cadwallader Colden.

History

It was established in 1893 and is still in operation.[1] When Union Cemetery in Brooklyn closed in 1897, more than 20,000 bodies were disinterred and transferred to Cedar Grove Cemetery.[2] As of 2009, Cedar Grove had recorded a total of 36,000 burials.[3]

Mount Hebron Cemetery was established in 1903 as the Jewish section of Cedar Grove Cemetery and is the burial site of several prominent participants in Yiddish theater.[4]

Cedar Grove was a filming location for cemetery scenes in the 1968 film, Bye Bye Braverman.[5]
