Weehawken Cemetery

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.

In December 2018 owner of the cemetery were ordered to halt work with felling trees when it was established that erosion could cause damage to existing graves on the hillside.[4]

Notable burials

Unclaimed bodies found after the collapse of the first attempt at the construction of the Uptown Hudson Tubes in 1880, a project later abandoned until 1908, were buried at the cemetery.[5]

gollark: It's very\* readable\*\*.
gollark: ```javascriptconst spaces = regex(/^ */)const whitespace = regex(/^[ \n\t]*/)const name = regex(/^[^ \n\t():]+/)const code = many(coroutine(function*() { yield spaces return yield choice([ coroutine(function*() { yield char("(") const x = yield code yield spaces yield char(")") return x }), name ])}))const program = sequenceOf([ many1(coroutine(function*() { yield whitespace const n = yield name yield whitespace yield str(":=") const c = yield code return { code: c, name: n } })), possibly(whitespace)]).map(([x, _]) => x)```parsing™
gollark: It was very elegant. I combinated™ it in a few lines of code.
gollark: It went nicely and I had a cool parser and all until it turned out that we were accidentally pushing to the wrong end of a list or something in a stupidly hard to debug way.
gollark: Fun times, that was. We were using JS to implement that weird stacky language.
