There are many small family cemeteries in Brookhaven Hamlet, as well as a larger community cemetery.  This Section provides documentation on these cemeteries.

The maintenance of old abandoned cemeteries in the Town of Brookhaven continues to be an issue with the Town government.  Listed here are selected resources, including New York State Law requirements and regulations.
