If the death certificate says removed from city, it could mean that it was removed from the entire city...including the boroughs. But try these: Cemetery of the Holy Cross Brooklyn, Kings County, New York Brooklyn Ave & Tilden Ave Brooklyn, NY 11203 (718) 284-4520 Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic cemetery, owned and operated by the Diocese of Brooklyn. It was founded in 1849. In June of that year, Bishop John Hughes approached James and Mary Duffy and purchased land from them which consisted of the old Van Brunt farm in the town of Flatbush, at the geographical center of Kings County. The first burial took place on July 13, 1849 in what is now known as Holy Cross Cemetery. The cemetery is maintained in fine condition, even including most of the older burials. In 1999, the cemetery covered approximately 96 acres and provided a resting place for nearly 725,000 people.
