Ocean View - The Cemetery Beautiful, Inc, certainly lives up to its name. Serving a variety of denominations and cultures, staff at Ocean View have served Staten Island and greater New York residents for over a century. The cemetery property offers a variety of options for loved ones, including family mausoleums, monuments and memorials, cremation niches and columbarium, and traditional in-ground burial services.

The cemetery property is graced with a variety of brick, stone masonry and iron that offers a sense of history, permanency, and security to visitors. Wide, open grasslands surrounded by groves of mature trees offer a sense of solitude and tranquility for the quiet memorialization of loved ones. Wide, well cared for pathways throughout the property give visitors a chance to roam through older parts of the cemetery, as well as explore beautiful marble mausoleums, upright and flush-to-ground memorials and markers, as well as large numbers of exquisite statuary.

Family mausoleums arranged beneath the shade of trees throughout the property offer visitors and their loved ones a number of options in regard to location and views. Staff at Ocean View also offer single and double of granite niches for cremated remains, and recent re-landscaping of the columbarium offers a beautiful location for interment.

Ocean View, located in Richmond County just outside the city of Oakwood on Staten Island, is also sometimes known as Oakwood Heights. For over 100 years, area residents, notables, politicians and actors have been buried on the property, including actor Charles Knox Robinson, and Congressman Michel May. Dozens of acres of sprawling green lawns, dotted with annual and deciduous trees, shrubbery arrangements and beautiful splashes of color from annual and perennial flower beds offer one of the most beautiful cemetery locations in New York.

Located along the eastern portion of Staten Island, the cemetery property is only minutes from the lower bay of the Atlantic Ocean, and may be accessed via Interstate 278 (also known as Route 440 or the Staten Island Expressway), or by taking State Route 440 along the West Shore Expressway toward Latourette Park. A turnoff on to Amboy road will take visitors to the front gates of ocean view, nestled between a variety of parks and the north Atlantic shoreline.
