UPDATE: A searchable website is now online. Included are driving directions and hours of operation, and a searchable database of graves in Mt. Zion http://www.mountzioncemetery.com/. In the "Quick Search" on the Home page, the user enters the last name of the deceased and the returned data includes a list of all person with that surname, the location, the burial society name, and the date of death. Under the "Interment" tab, the researcher may search by any of seven fields and the website returns up to 200 matches, thus, if you are searching for a list of all graves in particular society plot, you have to get creative in how you search for the graves that do not appear in the initial list of 200. Under the "About Us" tab, there is an informative history of the cemetery and a blurb about some of the notorious persons who are buried there. Under this tab, one can also find a clickable tab to obtain a listing of all of the burial societies with plots in Mt. Zion and a printable map of the entire cemetery. Source - Marlene Bbishow [June 2006]
UPDATE: It seems that the data entered into the Mt. Zion searchable database was taken from the computer they use in the office to locate burials. There were periods of time (could have been decades ago) when burials were being inputted into their computers and for some unknown reason (perhaps haste) were inputted without the full dates of death (please note that these dates are actually burial dates--they know they have to change this, but remember the site just went up the other day and the kinks need to be worked out). The person at the time who inputted the burial information used the number 1 to indicate the day of death. Little by little, the cemetery will be inputting the correct days of death/burial, so be patient. Also the "Block" field does no good for now. It really should be Gate No., as we really know how to locate a society by path and gate numbers. Hopefully, this will be corrected soon too. Please give them time to work out the kinks. Ideally, one should be able to place the correct path number and gate number into the search fields. This will hopefully happen soon, but realize all this will not happen overnight. Also, if you happen to notice that the given name or surname in their database is different than what you know it to be, they will only be able to change it if you show them a copy of their death certificate and it indicates the name you want it changed to. They normally check three of their in-office sources to see if there is a discrepancy in the names, but if in all three sources the name is the same as what's already in their database, it stays that way until they see the death certificate.

UPDATE: Photographs of gravestones may be provided to out of the area inquirers. Send requests to Mount Zion Cemetery, PO Box 355, Maspeth, NY 11378 or call 718-335-2500.

UPDATE: "clean up a long-neglected Jewish cemetery in Queens later this month. The four-day effort..." SOURCE: "Mormons coming to rescue of rundown Bayside Cemetery. ... Established in the 1840s, Bayside Cemetery is the final resting place for approximately 35,000 Jews. It is located in a working- to middle-class section of Queens, almost an hour's subway ride away from the increasingly gentrified section of the Upper West Side that is home to Shaare Zedek's predominantly 20- and 30-something membership, many of them rabbinical students and young professionals. ... The cemetery has long been plagued by vandals and overgrown weeds. Many of the headstones, even in areas designated for perpetual care, have fallen over and not been repaired. In January, a vandal broke into one of the mausoleums and opened the graves, exposing human remains. ... This spring, City Councilman Joseph Addabbo, who lives just blocks from Bayside Cemetery, offered to help. Addabbo has mobilized Ralph and Leslie Francisco, local funeral home owners, who are in turn recruiting funeral providers to assist with mausoleum and tombstone repair. ... The cleanup effort at Bayside Cemetery (80-35 Pitkin Ave.) took place May 28-30 and June 2. For more information, e-mail Shane Wamsley at mybershet@comcast.net or call (801) 446-9092." Julie Wiener.
