About the Business
Welcome to Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum
Nestled in the historic Hamilton Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum stands as a serene sanctuary offering solace and reflection. Located at 770 Riverside Drive, this unique establishment is the only active community mausoleum in Manhattan, providing affordable above-ground interment and memorial options for individuals of all faiths.
Our uptown location is steeped in rich history, connecting visitors to notable figures such as Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, Eliza Jumel, John Jacob Astor IV, Clement Clarke Moore, Benjamin Moore, and John James Audubon. Established in 1842, the cemetery continues to serve the community, blending historical significance with modern needs.
Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum is more than just a final resting place; it is a place of worship and a tourist attraction, welcoming visitors to explore its tranquil grounds and learn about its historical connections. For those who have recently lost a loved one or are planning for the future, our compassionate cemetery counselors are available to discuss interment options and provide support during times of grief.
Please note that our uptown cemetery is distinct from the downtown Trinity Church churchyard and St. Paul's Chapel churchyard, where historical figures like Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton are laid to rest. While these downtown locations are no longer active burial sites, they remain integral parts of New York City's history.
We invite you to visit Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum, where history, community, and remembrance come together. Whether you're seeking a peaceful place for reflection or looking to explore the stories of the past, we are here to serve and support you.
Reviews
"A very peaceful place to meditation and remembrance."
"Peaceful cemetery. You can get a map from the office (at the very southwest corner) showing the notable burials and must visit."
"None of the reviewers as yet have noted that John James Audubon's home was located on the corner of 155th and Riverside, many feet below what is now 765 Riverside Drive, just outside and across the street (though the level the house once stood upon is part of the underground parking at 765). And yes, Audubon himself is buried here in the cemetery with many many others both famous and not. It is truly a beautiful and somber place. As some have noted the land was bought after Trinity Cemetery downtown ran out of room. If you come, keep in mind that most days it is only open from 9 am to 4 pm. The gates are all closed and locked when the cemetery is not open, though there are views from Riverside Drive down into the lowermost, westernmost section. You usually must enter at 770 Riverside Drive (see photos)."
"This Trinity Church Cemetery is located in the Morningside Heights area of Upper Manhattan on 22 acres of land that was purchased in 1844 to supplement the lack of space at the original Trinity Church Cemetery at Wall Street and Broadway. The tranquil cemetery and mausoleum contains the graves of a number of famous people including James Audubon, John Jacob Astor and John Jacob Astor IV, who perished in the Titanic disaster, and New York City Mayor Edward I. Koch. Located on both sides of Broadway it has beautiful old trees and vistas of the Hudson River. Certainly this place qualifies as one of the most beautiful cemeteries in New York City."
"Beautiful place in the fall, when the foliage explodes with bright colors. It is free to walk around. Taking panoramic photos is allowed, but not closeup photos of individual tombs. Clean restroom available at their office."
