A grim topic, but I need to find out information about burial plots. It's hard to find any source where they list the pricing across multiple cemeteries. The cemetery themselves mostly don't publicize their pricing information.
Does anyone know of a site that can help me narrow down choices? Or does anyone have a cemetery in the NYC area (including Long Island and Eastern NJ) that you can recommend?
Pick a cemetery you like and most likely they have a web site.
I needed info on Green-Wood Cemetary in Brooklyn as I have both sets of grandparents buried there and am able to be buried there as well since I am next of kin...
I was able to get the info I needed by sending a few E mails. Very easy.

I would talk to a funeral director in the area you are interested in. They deal with all the cemeteries and know which ones are non-profit, and which are owned or managed by large corporations.

Thank you.
Most of my deceased family is in George Washington in Paramus. It's nice, plaques instead of stones, and well kept. Except when they buried my mother they covered my brother's marker and now they say he isn't there, but we will straighten that out. Don't know prices. My parents bought the graves in 1953 when it was fairly new.
But it's an easy ride from the city. Not far off Route 4, which you get on right over the GWB and then about 20 minutes or so. If you know of the Garden State Plaza Mall, it's a mile or so from there. Might want to check it out.

Most cemeteries don’t seem to publish pricing information on their websites. I wouldn’t be surprised if prices for plots could be negotiated although at a time of need you don’t have much choice. Cemeteries like Pinelawn (not the national cemetery) often solicit through the mail and they will send salesmen to your home if you respond.
For Catholics, St. Charles cemetery in Farmingdale is a popular cemetery. A new Catholic cemetery, Queen of Peace, recently opened in Old Westbury in Nassau County. Perhaps they might have better prices because they have plenty of room for graves.
Unless things have changed either deceased must have been a resident of SI or family that was or is has purchased space. Members of Vanderbilt family are still being interred at Moravian (Gloria Vanderbilt and her son Carter are two recent), even though neither lived on SI.
What about cremation? Due to the high cost of the funeral and burial more families are opting for cremation of loved ones. In the USA, the cremation rate is 47%.
