Description:

The New York City Marble Cemetery is an historic cemetery founded in 1831, and located at 52-74 East 2nd Street between First and Second Avenues in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The cemetery has 256 underground burial vaults constructed of Tuckahoe marble on the site.

The New York City Marble Cemetery, which was the city's second non-sectarian burial place, should not be confused with the nearby New York Marble Cemetery one block west, which was the first, having been established one year earlier. Both cemeteries were designated New York City landmarks in 1969, and in 1980 both were added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The cemetery is generally closed to the public, entrance may be arranged by special appointment; a donation is requested for this service.
