Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is an historical, yet active cemetery, offering interment options to fit a range of needs: traditional in-ground burial, community mausoleum crypts and niches, cremation plots, green burial. Washington Irving, whose words immortalized Sleepy Hollow, is only one of many who chose its cemetery as their lasting retreat from the world. Its quiet natural beauty and profound calm have spoken as deeply to a diverse community of souls, including Brooke Astor, Walter Chrysler, Andrew Carnegie, Elizabeth Arden, and William Rockefeller.
