About Huntington Rural Cemetery
The Huntington Rural Cemetery is a private, not-for-profit cemetery located south of the center of Huntington Village, between New York Avenue and Oakwood Roads. The cemetery was incorporated in March 1851, pursuant to a law governing the management of rural cemeteries in New York State adopted in 1847. It is one of the earliest rural cemeteries in New York State to be incorporated under this law. The management of the cemetery is governed by a nine member Board of Directors.
Services offered by Huntington Rural Cemetery
The rural cemetery movement began in the second decade of the Nineteenth century, growing out of a need to provide both a permanent and dignified resting place for the dead as well as a place of beauty and contemplation for the living. At the time, cemeteries in cities were running out of space and it was not unusual to have bodies removed so that others could be buried.
