Directions by train from Times Square:
From Times Square take 1 or 9 train to South Ferry or N or R train to Whitehall St.
Walk to ferry terminal and take half hour ferry ride to Staten Island. The
ferry runs every half hour on weekdays and once an hour on Sundays.
On Staten Island side, for Baron Hirsch Cemetery, take S-44 bus to Richmond Ave. and
Ludwig Lane (about a half an hour ride). For United Hebrew, Mt. Richmond and
Ocean Hill cemeteries take S-74 bus. United Hebrew is on Arthur Kill Road, about an
hour long bus ride from terminal. Mt. Richmond and Ocean Hill Cemeteries are a
different bus stop along the same route -- call those cemeteries first for specifics.
For Silver Lake Cemetery take S-61 or S-62 bus along Victory Boulevard.
Silver Lake does not have an office on the premises and Mt. Richmond's office is
sometimes closed. So make sure you call Hebrew Free Burial Association first for
either of these cemeteries. For Baron Hirsch, United Hebrew and Silver Lake,
be sure to bring ivy block lotion.
