Review & FAQ:

Calvary Cemetery is one of the United States' oldest cemeteries, originally opened for burials in 1848. The Maspeth cemetery is home to more than three million interments today, spanning 365 acres and operated by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Four cemetery sections are showcased, including the cemetery's Old Calvary original section. Notable burials at the site include United States Senators, former New York City mayors, and Annie More, the first person processed through the city's famed Ellis Island immigration center. Visitors can explore burials and stroll through the beautiful Calvary Veterans Park, which is operated as a public city park.
