All Faiths Cemetery

"As an avid genealogist, amateur historian, and public school teacher, I adore All Faiths Cemetery. Back in the day, many people called it the "Lutheran Cemetery". It's such an old, ruralesque cemetery with dirt roads and family plots on small hills. It's gorgeous, old, and sometimes a little rustic. Most importantly (my bias opinion), there is the most gorgeous plot dedicated to the unidentified souls who perished during the Slocum Disaster. The worst tragedy in New York City's history prior to 9/11. If you are a local history buff or visiting All Faiths, I suggest you go and pay a visit to the Slocum Plot. It is moving."

"So disappointed visited the family grave for the first time and it is disgusting definitely going to come here and start cleaning it up and this is the grave blanket my mother pays for. We are at fault for not coming here soo er"

"This cemetery features a memorial to the General Slocum Steamboat Fire disaster, in which 1,020 parishioners of St. Mark's Lutheran Church perished by drowning or fire on 6/5/1904. While I visited, I saw cemetery staff tending the memorial vases in the chapel and others working on the grounds. The office staff were helpful and friendly."

"Zero stars. This place is a wreck. How could they keep it in disrepair. It’s a disgrace to all those rested there and their families!! Gets worse every time I go. Now can’t even find our loved ones grave. Going to contact as many people as we can to get this place to clean up their act."

"Charming, hidden, yet somehow forgotten and neglected cemetery. A large space with some hilly sections offering views to downtown and midtown Manhattan. This place has history! There is so much here of the German immigrant story; names which are still very common in Germany as well as birth places which are no longer part of Germany -- and in fact there wasn't even a country of Germany when some of these cemetery residents were born there!"
