Sadly one star review is needed here, we are from out of state, FL to be exact and my fiancés father is buried here somewhere. That’s the real shame in this property. He is buried here somewhere and after trying to find his grave for more than half a day we were still unsuccessful even with all the maps we pulled from the website. We found the section and the rows and still nothing. It was very disheartening, they need to somehow improve the maps to locate loved ones, we also searched for someone who worked there to help and couldn’t find a single staff member or employee to help him locate his father, after a while we just agreed to give up and head home empty hearted.

If you like walking and want a quiet setting, then this is a place for you. The only drawback is that this is a cemetery and if you don't care about the setting then go for it. I walked through there several times and it is a humble feeling to enjoy and appreciate what one has at the present moment. This cemetery has an assortment of headstones and many mausolea, which was very interesting looking at them. I respect the dead and I refuse to take any pictures. So, if you have time in your schedule, take a walk.

Questions & Answers

Trying to locate my grandmother's grave. Does anyone know how I can do that?

Linda Rhatigan | Oct 3, 2018

It would seem, in this digital age, that ALL the names of person's interred in Calvary would be 'on line' for people to see. My family has had a plot there in Queens since the '40s and I can't find a live person with whom to speak about locators!

Are there grave locaters?

MeLinda Matos | Oct 3, 2018
LMM7 | Oct 3, 2019

There is signage directing vistors to specific locations. Do not count on groundskeepers to assist as they are hard to locate or have limited English skills. Also, you can find the plot, lot and range at the bottom of every stone. Hope this helps.

We cannot find the deed for the family plot in Calvary cemetery. The original owner was Nora O'Connell. My husband's father and mother are buried there, Thomas and Virginia Gorman. What can we do to get this information.

Marion Gorman | Oct 3, 2018
LMM7 | Oct 2, 2020

If you want to inter someone in that plot, you will need a deed. If it is lost, contact the cemetery. You will have no choice but to work with them. You will need to prove your relationship to deed holder. If the cemetery gives you a hard time, contact the NYS Division of Cemeteries or a lawyer (as a plot is treated as real property).

can three coffins be placed into one gravesite ?

Chris Lisella | Oct 3, 2018
LMM7 | Oct 2, 2020

It depends if it was purchased as such. Plots usually are sold in units of two coffins. Also, from my understanding, each concrete vault usually takes up the space of one casket. So, you will invariably lose one space per plot.

What is the first grave name?

Is there an expiration date on plots? For example, in my great grandfathers plot the last burial was in 1901. I heard Calvary resells plots if no one has been buried in the plot for 100 years.

Barbara Grolimund | Oct 2, 2020

Is there any way to figure out the plot location system. I have the identified location: 11-27-H-17 Nothing seems logical

Cheryl McDonald | Oct 3, 2019
LMM7 | Oct 2, 2021

Yes. You can go to the office and they will give you a map with general directions. You can also look for the relevant signage in each section. Once you get to the general range, look at the bottom right of the stones which will also have the info engraved. The groundskeepers may, or may not, be helpful as many don't speak English or want to be bothered.

It is a solemn resting place with grieving families and a place for prayer and reflection. Try a local park for your exercise.

Why is the gate on Queens Blvd being locked at 4 pm instead of 4:30 pm? I tried to go in yesterday (Monday) at 4:05 pm and it was locked. Workers should only lock at the time posted, not 30 minutes early.

Laura T | Oct 3, 2019
Paul Velastegui | Oct 3, 2019

I believe that Gate in Queens Blvd is close because they leave the entrance in Greenpoint open until that time.

May a plot be sold?

John J. Halleron, III | Oct 3, 2019
John From O'Loughlin's | Oct 3, 2019

I believe the cemetery will buy the plot back and give you what your family paid for it back in the day. Some people try to sell them personally

What are mausoleum pricing?

Sharon Williams | Oct 3, 2018
LMM7 | Oct 3, 2019

Varies in size, number of decedents and style. You would have to contact a monument dealer for pricing based on budget and style and then purchase a suitable sized lot to accommodate the structure. Keep in mind that a standard stone costs several thousand dollars so you can do the math on a mausoleum.

Are you allowed to put artificial flowers by the grave site

Mark Harutunian | Oct 3, 2018
LMM7 | Oct 3, 2019

Yes. As long as they do not encroach on other plots or hinder mowers.

My sister died some time around Feb. 1947 her name is Margret Servider. She was maybe 3 months old.

James Servider | Oct 3, 2018
LMM7 | Oct 3, 2019

You should call the front office and have them do a search. You also need to have an exact burial date.

Is there a map for # 3 Calvary in Woodside queens? I need to find a grave in Section 33 Range 2? Went once but no gravestone where I looked for a plot with 6 graves. Maybe wrong range. Thanks.

Good morning my name is Angel Ocasio. My mother Sara Flores is buried there in Calvary cemetery. I would like to buy here a head stone. Need some information on how to get it.

Angel Ocasio | Oct 3, 2017
LMM7 | Oct 3, 2019

I know there are two very established monument dealers at the entrance to the cemetery--Riley Brothers and Fasolino. (This isn't an endorsement of either). If she was the widow of a veteran, she might be eligible for a headstone at no cost.
