About this cemetery
Hackensack Cemetery in Hackensack, New Jersey, is a non-sectarian burial ground founded in the 1890s by Baptist, Dutch Reformed and Congregational benefactors. It was created because local churchyards were overcrowded. The same group of prominent Hackensack men also organized the Johnson Free Public Library. Edward D. Easton and Ben E. King are buried there.
