The Hoboken Cemetery is located at 5500 Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen, New Jersey.[1][2] in the New Druham section. It was owned by the City of Hoboken.[3] The Flower Hill Cemetery borders it on two sides. Although one may have the sense of a well groomed and cared for cemetery when first arriving at the Hoboken Cemetery, just a short walk in any direction and you will find a different story. [4] It is bordered by Flower Hill Cemetery.[5] The Secaucus Junction was built on land that was partially the Hudson County Burial Grounds. The exhumed bodies were to be re-interred at the Hoboken Cemetery but that was cancelled when the cemetery was found to have been recycling older full graves and selling them as virgin plots.[4][6][7][7]
