New York Marble Cemetery
"New York Marble Cemetery is the oldest non-denominational public
burial ground in the city.
The half-acre Greek Revival-style garden is hidden in the interior of the block, accessible through iron gates and a 100-foot private alley. It is surrounded by 12-foot-tall Tuckahoe marble walls. There are no individual markers on the lawn, however marble plaques in the wall name the original merchant families whose 156 underground private burial chambers collectively hold the remains of more than 2,000 former New Yorkers. The deep underground vaults are not accessible to the public, the names, achievements and occupations of the dead are all detailed in the cemetery’s registers"
Descendents of the original vault owners can still be buried here.

Some Interesting Ancestors Of New York Marble Cemetery
The cemetery, incorporated in 1831, was the first non-sectarian burial place in New York City open to the public. The organizer was Perkins Nichols, with Anthony Dey and George W. Strong handling the conveyances. Its popularity was so great that another one – the New York City Marble Cemetery – was soon built just around the corner. Although there are many similarities between the two, they have always been independent of each other. The entrance is through two pairs of wrought iron gates in a narrow alley, affording just a glimpse of the grounds, at what was once known as 41½ Second Avenue. The quiet, half-acre site on lower Manhattan was chosen because it was on the northern edge of development and was in an area which already had a number of church cemeteries.
In response to fears about yellow fever outbreaks, recent legislation had outlawed earth graves, so marble vaults the size of small rooms were built ten feet underground in the excavated interior of the block bounded by Second Avenue, Second Street, Third Street and the Bowery. Access to the 156 family vaults was by the removal of stone slabs set below the grade of the lawn. Vaults are in pairs; there are no catacombs or passages connecting them. Markers were never placed on the ground; instead, marble plaques set into the Cemetery’s long north and south walls give the names of the families interred nearby.
The first of the 2,000 burials recorded was a child of Dr. Post in 1830, the last, Charles Janeway VanZandt in 1937. Half of the older caskets were tiny, holding children aged six and under. Contagious diseases such as scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough, as well as infections for which there were not yet antibiotics (erysipelas, pneumonia, cholera, etc.) contributed to a level of early mortality fortunately forgotten in most parts of the world. What would be termed symptoms today were then considered primary causes of death: dropsy (edema), congestion or inflammation of the lungs or brain, and dysentery or diarrhea. For adults, the leading cause of death by far was tuberculosis, then known as consumption or phthisis pulmonalis. A surprising number of people who reached maturity, however, lived into their eighties and nineties, and invariably died of “old age.”One of the walls once held a plaque which noted that this was a “place of interment for gentlemen.” The vault holders, though, did not all start life in well-to-do families, and there was as much new money as old represented. Many were the sons of New England yeomen and several were immigrants, but each had earned an admired place in his business or profession. Among them were American art patron Luman Reed, philanthropist Anson G. Phelps, Uriah Scribner of the publishing family, Mayor Aaron Clark, Congressman James Tallmadge, and Benjamin Wright, Father of American Civil Engineering. Others have names recognized today by anyone travelling through the city, such as Dey, Hoyt, Mott, and Varick.
Some vaults require keys, several of which are still extant.
Starting in 1838, rural cemeteries quickly became the preference of most New York families. Not only did the next generation provide for its immediate families with plots in these places, but many older remains were moved out of lower Manhattan and reinterred. Removals were from cemeteries that were still functioning as well as churchyards that were being closed down. The Marble Cemetery contributed to this trend, losing over one third of its inhabitants, many of them to Green-Wood in nearby Brooklyn.
The Cemetery is showing its age. Tuckahoe marble from Westchester County, also seen at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the Century Club, Brooklyn Borough Hall,and the US Capitol, is soft and particularly susceptible to weathering. It was used for the vaults, plaques and lintels and gave the Cemetery its name. Fifty years ago, the deteriorating Dead House was demolished. The masonry work of the distinctive rubble walls is in need of extensive repair, and plans are in place for doing this in stages. The Cemetery has been designated a New York City Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Because it is a Sec. 501 (c) (13) corporation, all contributions toward restoration are tax deductible.

The Reverend Charles Robertson
LVO Minister-Emeritus of Canongate Kirk
(The Kirk of Holyroodhouse)
Edinburgh, Scotland
It is believed that interdenominational concerns may have prevented the Cemetery from ever being consecrated. When Reverend Charles Robertson came from Edinburgh, Scotland for the marriage of his daughter, Margaret, to Kevin Cancienne in the Cemetery on 27 May 2012, he felt that a blessing was in order. The entire Cemetery family is grateful to him for his thoughtfulness and eloquence.
PRAYER
Let us pray.
Eternal Lord, our heavenly Father,
you are the God not of the dead but of the living.
We ask your blessing on this resting place,
which guards our beloved dead,
both those who long have lain here
and those who in the days to come will be brought here
to rest in peace.
May it always be held in honour,
respected with reverence, and cared for with love.
Grant that those who have fallen asleep
may wake to your love,
and that the gates of this place may be for them
the gates of eternal life.
Comfort those who will come here in sorrow for their loved ones.
Wipe all tears from their eyes,
and fill them with your peace.
Bless, we pray, the work of those who labour
to make and keep this place a place of peace and love and joy:
the stone-masons who give new life to its crumbling walls;
the gardeners who nurture the earth and fill it with gladness and beauty;
the trustees whose care and faithful service
make this place a continuing delight.
Assure us all that the souls of loved ones
who lie here buried in peace,
are safe with you for ever.
Ceremony Of Blessing
at New York Marble Cemetery
26th May, 2012 – 10am
Over the past 180 years,
these old marble walls
have witnessed the burials
of more than 2,000 people.
This is a lovely and much loved place,
with its flowers, butterflies, bushes, trees, and lawns.
As a place of repose for the dead
and of refreshment for the living,
it stands as an urban oasis,
a secret garden in the heart of this busy city.
What was sown as perishable in this place,
will be raised imperishable;
what was sown in humiliation
will be raised in glory;
what was sown in weakness,
will be raised in power
BENEDICTION
And now, the blessing of God almighty,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, be with you.
And may the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen
BIENVENUE AU CIMETIERE DE MARBRE DE NEW YORK
Vous vous tenez sur le lieu de sépulture, public et non-sectaire, le plus ancien à Manhattan. Il a été bâti à la frontière du nord de la ville en 1830 par l’entrepreneur Perkins Nichols. Sa popularité était si grande que M. Nichols en bâti un autre immédiatement, le Cimetière de Marbre de New-York City, en face de celui-ci, sur la deuxième rue et la seconde avenue. Même s’ils sont identiques sous le sol, ils ont l’air différent et ont toujours été indépendants l’un de l’autre.
Sa conception en est unique. Plutôt que des sépultures en terre avec des pierres tombales, les caveaux de familles (en réalité des petites pièces) ont été construits à 3 mètres sous terre. Le code sanitaire en était la raison et ce pour empêcher des contaminations de tombes qui étaient alors trop près de la surface et de surcroit en terre.
L’accès à chaque paire de caveau sous la pelouse se fait en enlevant une dalle de pierre qui couvre un puits d’accès. Pour les 156 caveaux, il y a 78 entrées séparées. Aucune pierre tombale n’est placée sur le sol, les plaques posées sur les murs du nord et sud du cimetière indiquent les noms d’origine des propriétaires des caveaux qui ont leur famille tout proche, cela en indique donc l’endroit précis. La plupart des acheteurs étaient des professionnels, marchands ou personnes travaillant dans le transport maritime. Environ 2100 personnes sont enterrées ici. La moitié des premiers cercueils étaient petits, ils contenaient des enfants âgés de 6 ans et moins et qui sont décédés de plusieurs maladies contagieuses que les vaccins et antibiotiques ont maintenant éradiqués. Au début de 1850, beaucoup des cercueils du commencement, on été enlevés par leur familles pour les placer dans des cimetières ruraux nouveaux à l’époque et plus à la mode comme ceux de Green-Wood et Woodlawn. Le calendrier des jours de visites, liste des caveaux et plus d’information sur l’histoire du cimetière peuvent être trouvés sur le site internet suivant : www.marblecemetery.org.

CEMENTERIO MARBLE DE NUEVA YORK
The Nueva York Marble Cemetery en Manhattan, es el más antiguo, no pertenece a ningura secta religiosa y está abierto al público. Tanto este cementerio (1830) como el New York City Marble Cemetery, el cual está a la vuelta de la esquina (1831) fueron erigidos debido a que las sepulturas en tierra se prohibieron por razones de salubridad.
En lugar de las tumbas en tierra con las lápidas individuales, sólidas criptas familiars, de mármol, del tamaño de pequeños cuartos, fueron contruidas diez pies bajo tierra. Hay acceso a cada par de catacumbas removiendo las losas que están colocadas bajo el nivel del césped. No hay señales colocadas en el suelo. Las paredes que dan hacia el norte y sur del Cementerio tienen placas de mármol que dicen los nombres de los dueños originales de las criptas, cuyos familiares descansan junto a sus restos. La placas indican también la precisa localización de cada cripta familiar.
Se usó mármol local para construir las placas y linteles por encima de la tierra, así como para las paredes y techos arqueados de las criptas, bajo tierra. Tanto el mármol como la armagasa han sido destruídos por estar expuestos al tiempo. Ahora, el Cementerio esta recaudando fondos para un extenso proyecto de restauración. Aproximadamente 2.100 personas han sido sepultadas en las 156 criptas familiares. La mitad de los muertos fueron niños pequeños quienes fallecieron por enfermedades infecciosas. A finales del siglo XIX, muchos de los restos fueron trasladados por sus familiares hacia nuevos y populares cementerios, lejos de la muchedumbre de la ciudad. Los propietarios originales de las criptas fueron prominentes profesionales y comerciantes, muchos de los cuales estuvieron en el comercio internacional. Como una regla, los descendientes de los compradores del siglo XIX , son los dueños actuales y tienen el derecho de usar las criptas. El Cementerio es un New York City Landmark y se encuentra en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos. Se abre algunas veces al año. Más información puede ser encontrada en la página Web del Cementerio, www.marblecemetery.org.

Chronology
1820
Commerce with the Caribbean has long made East Coast ports susceptible to outbreaks of tropical illness. The yellow fever epidemic of 1822, which originates near the Trinity churchyard, spurs the Common Council to ban burials below Canal and Grand Streets. The city fathers hope that this will help curb the spread of disease. The Council later extends the prohibited area to include the area up to 14th Street, but allows burials in private family vaults.
1830
In July, Anthony Dey and George W. Strong, as organizing trustees, purchase the land for the New York Marble Cemetery. A layout drawn the same day, probably by developer Perkins Nichols, indicates the names of those already committed to buying almost all of the $250 vaults.
1831
The state Senate and Assembly pass the Act of Incorporation for the Cemetery.
The nearby New York City Marble Cemetery purchases its land on Second Street. The developer is again Perkins Nichols.
1833
An Index Stone on the West Wall listing all owners, a stone on the East Wall engraved with the names of the developer and the original trustees, and stone coping on top of the walls are all added. The grounds are to be “soiled and ornamented.”
1851
Traditional earthen burials are banned below 86th Street. Other cemeteries start removing remains to the recently-established “rural” cemeteries in Brooklyn and Queens; their churches then sell their Manhattan burial grounds.
1854
“A substantial iron gate” is erected on the street, fencing between the inner and outer gates is repaired, and the passageway is flagged.
1880’s
Population pressures increase, with both Second Avenue north of Houston Street and the nearby Lower East Side becoming destinations for large numbers of immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe. There is much uncertainty about the future of both Marble Cemeteries, with the possibility that the City will take their lands for public uses, such as schools.
1897
Social reformer Jacob Riis tries to have the New York Marble Cemetery turned into a playground. The owners must all agree and cannot be found.
1905 – 1906
A failed attempt to dissolve the Cemetery and sell its land leads to a complete reorganization, spearheaded by J. Frederick Kernochan, Edward J. Parish, and Daniel Parish. William Newcomb produces a large subscription list and the ensuing fundraising appeal creates an endowment of $21,000. The original owners have all died, but the families of many of them contribute generously. A few families, seeing an uncertain future, empty their vaults.
The walls are completely repointed.
1907 – 1908
The outer gates are moved to the inside of the alley to replace the old wooden ones. New cast iron gates by William R. Pitt are erected on Second Avenue.
1927
New fundraising is announced, but it never gets off the ground.
1937
A public relations drive to find heirs to the vaults is abandoned because too many generations have elapsed since the Cemetery’s founding.
The most recent burial takes place, in the VanZandt vault.
1956
The Dead House in the southwest corner is demolished.
1969
The Cemetery is designated a New York City Landmark.
1974
All 19th-century legal, financial, and administrative records, registers, and minute books are deposited for safekeeping at the New-York Historical Society.
1980
The Cemetery is placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The north wall, long undermined by the below-grade areaway along Third Street, has buckled and begins to crumble. Freezing moisture continues to force many of the marble owners’ tablets from the walls.
The neighborhood is at a low point.
1998
Robert Silman Associates performs a survey of conditions and rehabilitation costs for the above-ground walls.
Research begins to identify burials, owners of record, and living descendants, whom the Trustees contact. Renewal of the grounds begins.
2000 – 2024
Much of the Cemetery’s 1906 endowment is used for emergency stabilization. Both pairs of gates are restored. A major fundraising drive is organized. Two sections of the East Wall collapse and are rebuilt.
The Cemetery becomes accessible to the public through a website, published burial records, the resumption of May owners’ meetings, scheduled openings, an annual newsletter, and grounds rental for private gatherings.

Occupations of Original Vault Owners
Tuckahoe Marble
In the early 1800s, Tuckahoe marble became extremely popular as a building material for public buildings and other large installations. The term Tuckahoe marble refers to a dolomite mineral vein also called the Inwood Formation. It extends from Connecticut through New York State. Among the places where it surfaces is Eastchester, just north of Tuckahoe, in Westchester County, where a large quarry can still be seen. From there it goes under the Harlem River at Inwood, continues south, and runs directly under the New York Marble Cemetery, though far too deep down to mine. So much stone was mined in Inwood that the quarry ended up being deeper than the Harlem River itself. The river was therefore re-routed to the south to take advantage of the depth. About 75 acres of Manhattan were left north of the new Harlem River and are known as Marble Hill.
Tuckahoe marble is relatively coarse and susceptible to weathering. Some of the impurities in it can darken, so while the vaults belowground are still sparkling white, the Cemetery’s walls and tablets appear darker. The large crystals in it led the marble to be called Snowflake Marble in the 19th century.

is this one-room Marble School House from 1835 in Eastchester, NY.

The “Other” Marble Cemetery is located at
60 East 2 nd Street
between 2 nd Avenue & 1 st Avenue
To confuse people through the centuries, two independent cemeteries with very similar
names were built by the same developer, Perkins Nichols in 1830.
The New York City Marble Cemetery (their gate is on Second Street) was built just a
few months after the New York Marble Cemetery and is one block East of New York
Marble Cemetery.
NYCMC was built in 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.
Each has separate Boards of Trustees, maintain separate lists of burials and operate
independently.
