Ed Sullivan



Sylvia and Ed Sullivan

From the mausoleums at Ferncliff. I was looking for several sites in the mausoleums and this is the first one I was able to locate. And that was thanks to a worker who pointed me the right way. Not the terrble map Ferncliff distributes.

John James Audubon




From Trinity Cemetery (Uptown). From the map you would think this is somewhere towards the eastern edge of the eastern section. But it is right at the entrance on 155th street. We (my fellow gravehunter Shela was with me) actuall stood next to it to misread the map . Veri impressive work.

Harry Chapin


From Huntington Rural Cemetery. Hard to find (calling there was useless) but at the same time right in front of you. Still getting a rockpile of love.

Tom Carvel



Tom and Agnes Carvel

From Ferncliff. Pretty tricky find. The grave is in the St. Paul section but the section has several different burial patterns. I had to find the right pattern and follow it almost all the way around the section. If you go there it is in a hedgerow on the opposite side from the mausoleum. God bless you both.

Paddy Chayefsky


From Kensico. Took me three tries to find this. Kensico's map is very stylized and it gets you in the vicinity. But without their phone-in tour I never would have found this. If you go there, utilize the phone-in resurces.

This guy won the Academy Award for best screenplay THREE times.My favorite is The Hospital (George C Scott and Diana Rigg, c'mon). RIP Mr. Chayefsky.
