# Cemitério Kensico

Inicialmente com 250 acres (1 km²), foi expandido para 600 acres (2,4 km²) em 1905, mas reduzido a 461 acres (1,9 km²) em 1912, quando uma parte foi vendida para o Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
O Sharon Gardens, com área de 76 acres (31 ha) é uma seção do cemitério criada em 1953 para sepultamento de judeus.
