Often people are buried someplace first, if a cemetery didn't open until after their death- they were moved from one to another. And often people are moved from one place to another, inorder to have them together in the same place. I have some ancestors buried there, but that info is buried in some folder of a line I havn't worked on in a long time; if my memory serves me, they were buried there first and moved some other place. I agree- it does seem odd, and there may be reasons that you don't yet understand- problems in the family, indecision of the children about where to bury. It was inundated with people after it opened and many were moved to other cemeteries in NYC. The cemetery has been in use since 1851. Sue

Also, maybe it was a financial problem that prevented them from moving both parents at the same time.
