The illusion that cemeteries are forever is an urban myth. I highly
recommend a cult movie starring Jonathan Winters called The Loved One in order to get
a handle on how America honors cemeteries. It caused both my parents to join
a cremation society and have their ashes scattered at sea.

In another archaeology tech job for the Queens Historical Association (NYC -
Celia Bergoffen, PhD, RPA, Stanley Cogan, Borough Historian) we hand test
excavated the landmarked Moore-Jackson Cemetery to determine what
reconstruction had taken place in the historic cemetery, part of a block-to-
block property acquired by the Queens Historical Association. Erroneously
reported an extant cemetery, all the stones are in landscaped positions
documented now from the WPA era. Additional remote-sensing or further
excavation will be needed to “find” it outside the garden. Family residence
associated with it was where the British Army headquartered and won the
“Battle of Long Island” the first defeat of General Washington in the
American
Revolution. After, at trial, the owners, were found innocent of
collaboration
with the British Army, the house on a strategic crossroad of "information".
It
looks like a cemetery, once next to the Japanese-American garden supplier,
but was arranged, i.e., all the stones had broken bottoms, where often they
extend as much as 3 feet or more into the ground. Drive-by cemetery crashing
in the early 1930s? If someone would be interested in trying a
remote-sensing
test there please contact them.
