New York
An Invitation.
The superintendent of the Cedar Grove Cemetery (situated on the Old Mill road near Flushing) extends to our citizens a cordial invitation to visit and inspect that beautiful place. Drive over some pleasant day and you will find that spring has been lavish in her adornment, and with the number of improvements added by the hand of man, Cedar Grove is well worth a visit. The superintendent is on the grounds every day (including Sundays), and will be pleased to explain to visitors the advantages of the modern "lawn system" upon which Cedar Grove is conducted.

Maple Grove Cemetery's Growth
New York, 1895
The Maple Grove Cemetery report quite a steady increase of interments there this year over last, but as the board of health returns from New York and neighboring cities do not show any greater death rate than former years, in fact, for 1895 so far it has been somewhat less than the average, the increased number of burials at Maple Grove is undoubtedly occasioned by it becoming better known and appreciated by those who are obliged to patronize cemeteries. Maple Grove certainly has many advantages in its location over some of the larger and older cemeteries, and its grounds are admirably adapted for a beautiful burial place.

Appreciation
New York, 1895
That the liberal offers made by the Cedar Grove Cemetery (located on the Old Mill road near Flushing) are appreciated by the citizens is indicated by the numbers of interments that are being made there.
No effort has been spared to make it a peaceful park-like resting place for the dead and the prompt appreciation of the efforts expended in that direction shown by the people, is very encouraging to those interested in making this ideal "city of the dead" one of the most beautiful on the Island."

A Modern Idea (1895 advertisement)
New York, 1895
At a funeral in the Cedar Grove Cemetery (located on the old Mill road near Flushing) was noticed a new idea in cemetery courtesy.
The weather being inclement a dark canvas roof or tent was erected over the plot and the relatives and friends were thus protected overhead during the services, heavy matting protecting them under foot.
These precautions, the proper tolling of the deep toned bell, and the attendants being uniformed in a sober appropriate uniform, show that modern ideas can be applied to our most solemn ceremonies with advantage.

Magnaminity
New York, 1895
Owing to the recent severe weather and its incumbent inconveniences, many families visited by the "grim destroyer" have been in sore straits regarding the disposal of the remains of their loved ones.
Realizing this, the directors of the Cedar Grove cemetery (located on the Old Mill Road near Flushing), offer the use of their magnificent receiving vault to such families free of charge — the small deposit required being returned or rebated as soon as the weather permits the selection of a grave or a plot in their cemetery.
