History, culture and dignity since 1935.
Historic Frederick Douglass Memorial Park Inc., was established in 1935 in the Oakwood Heights neighborhood of Staten Island, and is New York City’s only African American Cemetery.
Featuring 17-acres of rolling hills and a magnificent, serene park-like setting, Frederick Douglass Memorial Park was conceived during the great depression. A group of Harlem businessmen created this cemetery to combat segregated burials. FDMC offers families an opportunity to bury their loved ones in a setting rich with African American history.
