Flower Hill Cemetery

Flower Hill Cemetery in North Bergen was established in eighteen seventy-three and serves as a quiet witness to the layered history of the Hudson River waterfront. While many visitors are drawn to its traditional headstones, the grounds hold a collection of ornate, turn-of-the-century mausoleums that reflect the ambitions of the region's historical merchant class. The landscape is designed to integrate into the western slope of the Palisades, creating a space that feels distinct from the dense urban surroundings just beyond its gates.
