Woodlawn Cemetery • Crematory • Conservancy

One of the most beautiful and well-kept cemeteries I've ever stepped foot in. A number of famous people rest here for eternity, including Miles Davis (who has the largest headstone I've ever seen), Dorothy Parker, Herman Melville, Irving Berlin, and Bat Masterson. We walked through and found everyone we wanted to see to pay our respects. People do need to slow down driving through here as it is a place of reverence. We literally saw a car going too fast, hit either a pylon or gravestone, back out quickly, and kept driving. Be sensible! These are peoples' loved ones!

This is a one of a kind cemetery. The lake in the middle on the necropolis has huge fish that you are not allowed to feed. Just be careful with the guards they drive around in blue minivans. If you do get lost they will be happy to give you a lift.

One of my favorite spots in all of New York City. History and Beauty with every step.

I don't know the story about the cemetery if it's haunted or not and if it's true but I know that it's a great place to be buried
