Linden Hill Cemetery

English-speaking Methodists founded Linden Hill Cemetery in 1842, located at The Second Street Methodist Episcopal Church on 2nd Street between Avenues C and D in Manhattan. German-speaking Methodists then acquired it in 1852, located at The First German Methodist Episcopal Mission Church on 2nd Street between Avenues B and C. The First German Methodist Episcopal Church later moved to 48 St. Marks Place, Manhattan, where it remained until its closing on July 1, 1975. The Cemetery then became the property of the Bishop of New York and the Superintendents of the New York Annual Conference with churches in New York City. The Cemetery incorporated in 1977. Today, Linden Hill Cemetery, as it is commonly known, remains a non-sectarian Cemetery with a Methodist Heritage. The garden-type settings and the rolling hillsides are indeed a wonder to the eye, blessed with the New York City Skyline as our backdrop.
