I'm going to start my review of a cemetery (why? some might ask) by giving a (very) brief…read moreautobiography. (Actual review of cemetery starts in the next paragraph, for those uninterested in my trip down memory lane). I was adopted during an era when all adoptions were closed ones. In my early 20's, I got my non-identifying information, which indicated I was born in Newark to unmarried teenagers; one was Irish-Catholic, one was Irish-German Protestant; etc. etc. In the years after I obtained this limited information, I'd play a game with myself. I'd be somewhere in NJ, and wonder, "Did somebody I'm genetically related to ever come here where I am now? Did they ever walk where I'm walking now? Did they ever eat in this restaurant? Did they ever stay in this hospital? Did they ever attend a movie at this theatre, in this town?" Ironically enough, this cemetery was the place where a lot of the people responsible for me ended up, although I didn't know that when I first came here, which was the early-to-mid 80's (my birth mother didn't track me down and contact me until 2004). I came to take photographs because it provides wonderfully clear, unfettered shots of the NY skyline. But after taking those photos, I didn't see any pressing need to come here again. Until, as I mentioned, my birth mother contacted me (for those who are adopted, or gave someone up for adoption, and are daunted by the anticipated process of finding your genetic relatives; my birth mother simply contacted the agency through which I had been adopted, paid the money for the detective they had on staff, and a day later they knew my identity) and I became aware of the family history. This is a pleasant, sedate cemetery, with abundant trees and foliage, although I've always found it a little nondescript. I'm not sure how many acres it is, but it's pretty big. It's peaceful, but I also have to note that it's hard to ignore Rt 3 traffic passing to and from NY (or passing to and from whatever they're calling Meadowlands Stadium now). The cemetery sort of slopes down towards the actual Meadowlands, where the Rt 3 Drive-In used to be (there's an office building there now). In the upper portion of the cemetery, my genetic maternal family is buried--- grandfather, great grandfather and grandmother, great aunt (who was very nice to me in the few years I knew her), etc. It's a mixture of old and new gravesites. At the other end of the cemetery, my birth father and genetic paternal grandparents are buried. So, obviously, the cemetery is invested with personal meaning for me. For others? It's clean, well kept, well maintained. It's not extravagantly beautiful or especially unique, but it's a more than adequate, respectful place to mourn and remember the dead, or to quietly contemplate life and that eternal reward we're all ultimately heading for. Or the majestic NY skyline. Or the Rt. 3 traffic rushing by. I have to admit that I used to sometimes seek out specific cemeteries because of the famous (and/or infamous) people buried there. As I've mentioned in another review, cemeteries can be great repositories of history, architecture, art, beauty. And, when I was younger, it was cool to see the graves of people i had admired--- James Cagney, Billie Holiday, Johnny Thunders, Malcolm X, John Garfield, etc. Here? Some local "celebrities" like Fairleigh Dickinson and William Carlos Williams are among those interred. Of more immediate interest to me, Joey Ramone is buried here. I was never the biggest "fan" of the Ramones, but I respected them, liked a lot of their music, and always liked that they always put on a good, exciting show the few times I saw them, no matter how much they may have hated each other. They always gave their fans their money's worth, and then some. Hillside has its own Jewish section, and you won't be able to miss Joey's monument. I met him in life, but if you didn't, this is as close as you're going to be able to get to him (and unless these "ghost hunter" types are correct, and your spirit or entity or whatever lives on after death, you aren't getting an autograph...). The monument is quite large (it has the name "Hyman" on it), and usually covered with small rocks (the Jewish tradition of placing small rocks on a grave when you visit to show that the deceased are still remembered is one I've always liked) and other memorabilia. I'm not sure how respectful such things are...I'm always a little troubled by the memorabilia cluttering the grave...but I imagine Joey probably wouldn't mind. So I come here often enough because I have a personal investment (relatives buried here). Outside of that, I don't find it as distinctive or as lovely as I do such cemeteries as Greenwood in Brooklyn, or Woodlawn in the Bronx, or Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery upstate, but it is a nice, pleasant, peaceful cemetery. If it weren't for busy, annoying Rt. 3 traffic running alongside it, I'd probably appreciate it even more.

To my family, what was important was the kindness of the Director and her staff's willingness to guide us through the whole plot purchasing process along with options provided. My mom passed away a few years back (f*ck cancer!) and we were not in the right headspace. We were first timers and really needed guidance and patience. Landscape, Upkeeps, Grounds are all clean. The staff are very nice. It can be quite hectic at times during traditional Chinese cultural visits like during Cheng Ming, which coincides with Easter. The staff keeps it going and are usually helpful. If you have the money, this location is best for any family living in the 5 borough. Otherwise, it's Jersey or Upstate NY. The only 2 issues I have with Cypress Hill is 1) we paid for perpetual care but often we see lots of weeds & trash around my moms' grave. So we end up cleaning it ourselves. 2) WHY is there ONLY 1 bathroom?!? It's horrible and that bathroom is quite gross... so you might want to hold your bladder... Good luck friends.

I normally bring a large jug of water because the water spigot is a bit of a walk from where my grandmother is buried. I'd also imagine that the spigot is shut off during winter to prevent water from freezing and damaging the pipes. Normally I go to Glendale Florist about a few blocks away from the cemetery for a bouquets of flowers and cemetery cones but there are many other similar businesses in the area too. For those who might be wondering why there are large evergreen bushes planted next to graves in the Asian section, it's a symbolic cultural ritual that a number of people cherish. I respect other people's beliefs but my family and I don't participate in this particular activity. I had to ask about the beliefs behind this practice since I was not knowledgeable and also wondering. It was explained to me that these evergreen bushes are connected to the thought of eternalness which is probably why these bushes aren't shaped or pruned either. The sections are well marked. I don't know how much a plot costs because a family member made these arrangements so contact CHC for answers to your questions.
