The “Other” Marble Cemetery is located at
between 2nd Avenue & 1st Avenue
One block away from
New York Marble Cemetery
Located adjacent to #43 Second Avenue
To confuse people through the centuries, two independent cemeteries with similar names were built by the same developer, Perkins Nichols, at Second & Second in 1830.
The New York City Marble Cemetery (gate on Second Street) was built just a few months after the New York Marble Cemetery (gate on Second Avenue) across Second Avenue from each other.
They were built the same pattern using underground family owned burial vaults, however the (other) New York City Marble Cemetery is twice as large, is covered with large monuments and can be easily seen from the street. They have separate Boards of Trustees, maintain separate lists of burials and operate independently.
