St. John Cemetery

Address
80-01 Metropolitan Avenue
Middle Village, Queens, NY 11379
(718) 894-4888

St. John's Cemetery in Middle Village stands out for being as immaculately maintained as any cemetery in Queens.

An unusual set of paths cross at St John (often erroneously referred to as "St. John's): Here you will find Charles Atlas, Robert Mapplethorpe, and John Gotti. Also interred here are many other mafioso.

I was wondering if you would be able to tell me if my grandparents are buried in your cemetery. The family name is the same, Ianaconi, and their first names are Arthur and Mildred. I visited for the last time many years ago and now I've forgotten which cemetery it was. It was definitely St. John's, but I'm not quite sure of the location. If it is not your location, are you able to tell me what location it is? Thank you in advance. Joseph Ianaconi

Interesting. When I took that photo I knew nothing about Leonhard Eppig, except that he built a very handsome and prominent mausoleum on these grounds. As I sometimes do after a cemetery visit, I typed his name into some search engines and learned that he was a well known beer brewer. I can see why this tomb would be the stuff of family legend.

Leonhard Eppig

I was shocked when I Googled my great-grandfather's name and the family tomb appeared at St. John's. My grandmother spoke of the family tomb many times when I was a child. I would love to see it in person.....not possible at this time.
