The Weehawken Cemetery, like neighboring Hoboken Cemetery,[1] is not located in its namesake town of Weehawken but rather on the western slope of the Hudson Palisades in North Bergen, New Jersey,[2] with its main entrance on Bergen Turnpike. At its east side the cemetery is overlooked by the Bergen Crest Mausoleum and the Garden State Crematory.[3] and nearby Flower Hill Cemetery.
