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.
