Welcome to Cypress Hills Cemetery Located In Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. A Historic Landmark of The Borough.

Cypress Hills Cemetery was founded on November 21, 1848. It is chartered by New York State as a non-profit, non-sectarian, membership corporation. Under construction for near three years, it officially opened in 1851.

Today, despite the constantly increasing population and a demand for interment space from families throughout the New York City metropolitan area, Cypress Hills Cemetery has a large amount of beautifully developed land sufficient to serve future generations.


Cypress Hills Cemetery

remains dedicated to maintaining the same character and vision of its founders. Years of careful planning and maintenance have preserved and enhanced the beauty and serenity of our grounds.

We hope you will consider us when choosing a final resting place for loved one.

Feng Shui Burial Options at Cypress Hills Cemetery

The Feng Shui Pagodas burial options at the Eternal Peace site offer a serene and spiritually harmonious resting place for loved ones, nestled in an elevated Asian-inspired area that overlooks both the city and the tranquil waters beyond. Designed to hold two urns of ashes, each pagoda symbolizes peace, balance, and the connection between heaven and earth. The pagodas are thoughtfully positioned to optimize the flow of positive energy, or chi, providing a sense of calm and protection for the departed. Behind each pagoda, the grave section offers a peaceful and dignified burial site, blending seamlessly with the natural landscape, ensuring a harmonious and eternal resting place. This tranquil setting not only honors the memories of the deceased but also fosters a deep sense of peace for those who visit, surrounded by nature’s beauty and the energy of the elements.

Cypress Hills Cemetery made a traumatic experience in the lives of our family seamless. The person who informed me of what was needed to lay my granddaughter in the ground was extremely kind and caring. Thank you for your service.
