If you look at a map of NYC and look in the borough of Queens you'll find Calvary, New Calvary, Mt. Zion, Mt. Olivet, Lutheran, St. John's, Mt. Hebron, Evergreen, Mt. Carmel, Mt. Lebanon, and Cypress Hills Cemeteries. The value of the land is quite high and total acreage is astounding.
The cemetaries are quite close to the city depriving many from reasonable commutes to work in exchange for those possible loved ones the ease of nearby graves to visit several times a year.
Personally, I don't get it and see it as an extension of vanity of self trying to preserve the last bits of their humanity.
