A very beautiful cemeteryGates of Heaven is one of the largest and most beautiful cemeteries I have visited. It contains the greatest baseball players of all time Babe Ruth and other famous people. It's kind of confusing but if you wish to easily find Bath Ruth. You just search Babe Ruth Gravesite on Google maps and Google will take you to the exact location.
I am a fan of these park-like cemeteries. Rolling hills, trees, curving lanes throughout, they bring peace to what could be a challenging and emotional time. I do now know anyone laid to rest at Gate of Heaven, Mrs. K. and I stopped through here to see the final resting places of some famous people.
Gate of Heaven and Kensico Cemetery are adjacent to each other but are operated separately. Kensico was founded in 1889 as a non-sectarian burial ground. Gate of Heaven Cemetery, on the other hand, was established later and is owned and operated by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York.
Certainly there are more crosses and other religious icons here at Gate of Heaven. We were able to easily find what we wanted to see. New York Yankees coach Billy Martin. Hollywood actor James Cagney. Baseball player Babe Ruth's grave was easy to spot, adorned with ball caps and such.
It is a pleasant park-like atmosphere and worth remembering that some people aren't sight-seeing here, so please be respectful.
There are several different gravesites I’d recommend here at Gate of Heaven Cemetery including baseball stars Babe Ruth and Billy Martin. Also, we found the famous actor James Cagney interesting too.
