Reviews
"VERY rich and historical cemetery. Beautifully old and overgrown cemetery offers a unique charm. Big names like George Gershwin and Guggenheim can be found here along with other notable people. The cemetery features some of the most expensive mausoleums found anywhere in the area, maybe even the world. The cemetery itself is small and borders other larger unaffiliated cemeteries. It is across the street from the Saw Mill River Trail and would make a nice detour for anyone going on a long walk. Iβve personally work and built some of the larger mausoleums and memorials in this cemetery and can attest to just how special this place is."
"This is where the actor John Garfield is buried."
"This beautiful cemetery is where George and Ira Gershwin and Ira's wife Leonore are buried."
"Is this the Westchester Cemetery where painter Kim Hwan-ki and writer Kim Hyang-an are buried??"
