A large Jewish cemetery right off the LIE. Getting location directions from the staff can be hit or miss. The grounds are not really well kept in many sections.

Visiting Mt Zion Cemetery was a quiet and reflective experience. The atmosphere is peaceful and respectful, with a strong sense of history throughout the grounds. Walking through the cemetery, you can notice how well maintained it is, and how carefully the space is preserved as a place of remembrance. The surroundings create a calm environment that encourages reflection and contemplation. It feels like an important historical site where many stories and generations are honored. Overall, it is a meaningful place to visit for those who appreciate history, heritage, and quiet spaces of remembrance.
Not very lively.
Parts are very well maintained others on top of the hill havent seen a lawnmower in a few years. But so much jewish history is buried there





I came today to pay respects to my grandmother who is buried here, I drove hour and half after work. It is advertised the cemetery supposed to be open till 4:00PM, I arrived to main entrance on 3:38PM and it was closed I drove to other entrance on the other side got there on 3:42PM and that was was closed as well. I always got here in the afternoon and they always were open till 4PM. You guys should update your hours if anything changed. Very disappointed..
cute place, looks really gothic when the vines havent been cut but i saw a dead house cat (he had a red collar) in there :c rip


Quiet. Contemplative. Not really well tended. So Many cut off trees which symbolise the burial of small children. Literally rows of these. But the bathrooms are clean and they give you very clear maps which they highlight so That you can find the graves you are searching for Difficult to find an opening to drive in to the cemetery the only way in is in 54th Street











































Kever of the only Rizhine rebbe buried in the United States. Many people have davened here and seen yeshios. There is no longer a need for a key to enter the ohel. The door which is kept closed is generally unlocked. פועלט אלעס גוטס!
Well maintained great environment!
Well-maintained site, but super overcrowded with headstones. Be careful when walking around to find your relative so as to not trip over or disturb the closely aligned gravestones. Maintenance does a great job with trash. Barely any.

Fascinating huge Jewish cemetery with a lot of history! Dating back to late 1800s. Still active cemetery. Marie in office super helpful. Looked up the exact gravesites of ancestors I was trying to find by pulling out old original blueprints, then marked a xeroxed map for me to help me navigate.
1 helpful voteLocated in the Mount Zion Cemetery. Note: You need to pick up a key to the Ohel at the office when arriving, you leave a $20 deposit to get the key, get it back when returned.
