St. Charles / Resurrection Cemeteries

St. Charles / Resurrection Cemeteries is a Catholic cemetery of the Diocese of Brooklyn in East Farmingdale, New York.

History[edit]

It was formed from two separate but adjoining cemeteries: Resurrection Cemetery was originally created and operated by the Archdiocese of New York, while St. Charles Cemetery was created by the Diocese of Brooklyn. Both were purchased by their respective diocese in 1914 from the Pinelawn Cemetery Corporation, and the first burials in St. Charles took place in 1937 as St. John Cemetery in Queens began to fill. In 1953, Resurrection Cemetery was sold to the Diocese of Brooklyn and they were combined into a single cemetery.^[1]^[2]
