Reviews
"Creepy place. Been going here since the 80’s and never liked it"
"A fairly small cemetery right along the L train line. The greenery is quite nice and the place is otherwise quiet."
"Extremely dangerous place back in the '70's. My dad and I almost got mugged in there and thrown into an open grave. Time marched on and St John's took it over. Gave it a good cleaning too. I have a plot there I can go to if I so desire. Never sau never"
"Very interesting old cemetery under the L train. On a dead end street & very quiet."
"Very nice and peaceful, separated from adjacent cemeteries by razor wire ?"
