Maple Grove Cemetery

We have relatives buried in the 1980s and '90s in the older sections of the cemetery. It was difficult finding their graves, but this great guy who works at the cemetery saw us struggling to find their graves on the cemetery map. I wish we had gotten his name, but we found the graves after he guided us in his pick-up to the section where their graves were. The cemetery is very well maintained, and they have (at least one!) great employees.

Walking thru the cemetery today, as I often do because it’s the easiest way to get over to the next street. One of your grounds keepers, older white gentleman, almost mowed me down with the golf cart he was driving, as he whizzed by me almost clipping my shoulder, he didn’t even turn back to apologize acknowledge my presence. You should teach the men to a bit more respectful of pedestrians. I could have been seriously hurt.

If your loved one is located in the back of the cemetery and you travel by public transportation you should take the F to Briarwood and exit in the middle of the platform then where you see the sign Exit Van Wyck service road and a right arrow. Google maps gave me horrible directions giving me more than a 15 minute walk that was like a maze but this way takes you only a few feet from the cemetery.

The old Victorian section of the cemetery with lots of impressive statues and lush tree cover is a perfect place for a walk and some reflection. There is a downloadable self guided tour map on their website that shows the graves of prominent people buried in the cemetery. They also have story stones, which are stone markers with engraved stories of the cemetery and snippets of some literature.
