About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Berrien Island Cemetery is non-existant, but once was located on Berrian's Island. Berrien Island was land filled into the mainland in what would now be the northern part of the town of Astoria, where Con Ed is located. Part of the Berrien property is where Steinway Co. is located.

The cemetery was obliterated in 1902 for construction of a gas manufacturing plant. Gravestones dated from the eighteenth century to 1810. The map location is approximate.

The cemetery is identified as the Berrien-Remsen Family Burial Ground on pages 17-18 of The Graveyard Shift: A Family Historian's Guide to New York City Cemeteries, Carolee Inskeep, Ancestry Publishing (Orem, Utah) © 2000.
