Evergreen Cemetery and Crematory is a cemetery and crematorium located at 1137 North Broad Street, Hillside, Union County, New Jersey. Parts of it are in Hillside, Elizabeth, and Newark.[2]
The cemetery is listed on both the New Jersey Register[3] and the National Register of Historic Places,[4] since 1991.[5]
Notable graves include authors Stephen Crane, Mary Mapes Dodge and Edward Stratemeyer. Six former U.S. Congressmen (including one who became Senator) and one non-voting delegate (from Alaska) are buried there as well.
The cemetery also is known for having a section of plots devoted to Romani "gypsy" families.[6][7][8]
It is adjacent to Weequahic Golf Course.
King of the Gypsies was filmed there with Shelley Winters.[9]
