Long Island National Cemetery, National military cemetery in Farmingdale, United States.
Long Island National Cemetery spans 364 acres of maintained grounds with uniform white headstones arranged in precise rows across grass-covered sections.
The cemetery opened in 1936 to address burial space shortages after World War I when urban cemeteries in New York City reached maximum capacity.
The cemetery contains graves of Medal of Honor recipients, jazz musicians John and Alice Coltrane, and soldiers from multiple nations who served in various conflicts.
The cemetery grounds remain open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with office services available on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
A mass grave within the cemetery contains remains of 36 Italian prisoners of war who died during a torpedo attack off Algeria's coast.
