Hi neetz~
As you may know, NYC?s cemeteries are limited, due to the fact that
laws were passed in the 19th century forbidding new cemeteries being
built; they simply took up too much space. Therefore, many wealthy
people were buried outside the city limits. However, here are a few
NYC cemeteries with prominent residents:
* New York Marble Cemetery: http://www.marblecemetery.org/
* The New York City Marble Cemetery: http://www.nycmc.org/
* Trinity Church & Cemetery:

Unusual Tour of New York City)
* Ferris Family Plot (a.k.a., Pasture Hill Burial Ground; The burial
place mostly of Ferris family:

* Vault Hill (Contains remains of Van Cortlandt Family):

* D Vault Hill (Contains remains of Van Cortlandt Family; cemetery no
longer exists): http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymanhat/cemeteries.htm (?NYC
