I came upon this death section on the NYC Dept Health & Mental Hygenie's website>. http://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/services/death-certificates.page "Burials at the City Cemetery - In New York City, if private funeral arrangements are not made, remains of stillborn infants more than 24 weeks gestation are sent for burial to the City cemetery located at Hart Island, Bronx, NY, commonly known as Potter's Field, by the Office of the City Medical Examiner. To get information on visiting your infant’s remains, please call the NYC Department of Correction (DOC) at 718-546-1500 or visit the DOC website, which includes a searchable database of persons buried on the island. Database Search Tips: For deaths before 2011: use mother's full maiden name For deaths in 2011 and onward: use mother's legal name or infant name" Barb [email protected]
