Gate of Heaven Cemetery, approximately 25 miles (40 km) north of New York City, was established in 1917 at 10 West Stevens Ave. in Hawthorne, Westchester County, New York, as a Roman Catholic burial site. Among its famous residents is baseball player Babe Ruth, whose grave has an epitaph by Cardinal Francis Spellman and is almost always adorned by many baseballs, bats and caps. Adjacent to the Garden Mausoleum is a small train station of the Metro-North Railroad Harlem Division named Mount Pleasant, where four trains stop daily, two northbound and two southbound. Several baseball players are buried here.
A cemetery, burial ground, gravesite, graveyard, or a green space called a memorial park, is a place where the remains of dead people are buried or otherwise interred. The word cemetery (from Greek κοιμητήριον 'sleeping place') implies that the land is specifically designated as a burial ground and originally applied to the Roman catacombs.[3] The term graveyard is often used interchangeably with cemetery, but a graveyard primarily refers to a burial ground within a churchyard.

My father in law and most of my husband's family are buried here. It's a beautiful cemetery. My father in law was a Captain with 6th armored and headed up the 3rd headquarters. He liberated Buchenwald was in Normandy on D Day. He was a great man. Dorothy Kilgallen is also buried there.

[@OlinKreutzRules]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing. Personally, hearing these sorts of stories really makes me so proud of my country. I know it was yesterday but…..Merry Christmas and here’s to the best New Year for everyone on the planet!!!!!! Cheers ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@josephgello955]

When I was a kid I would visit my uncle In Martha's vineyard and would see Mr Cagney every once in a while. Nice gentleman and no one would bother him around town.

[@michaeljoseph9898]

Some of my family is there too. When you go back, be sure to find Yankee great Lou Gehrig there too..

[@flocosta]

Thanks Scott, I needed this break desperately today! Wow, there are so many legends buried here in this beautiful and well-kept cemetery. Such gorgeous stones for Babe Ruth and Billy Martin. I love the epitaph on Billy's grave too. I sure wish he didn't die that way and I hope no one else was hurt. I LOVE James Cagney! Thank you to Kevin who had so much knowledge to add and congratulations on the new addition to his family. Scott, you always do such a great job on your videos. I was having a bad day until you made it better. Lots to do. Movers coming tomorrow. RIP to all who are laid to rest here, famous or not. All are important and known to someone and especially to God. ❤ 💐

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Glad I could help make your day a little better Flo! Good luck on the move , let me know how it goes

[@kaymad143]

I loved watching Billy Martin arguing with the Umps! I went to Yankee Stadium with a friend that had access to the Pinstripe Club and when I walked out to the seats, I got goosebumps because Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig played there and Joe DiMaggio too. There was an aura there. Great collaboration with Kevin! Thank you Scott!

[@heathergibbs2904]

I liked and shared this video 📹 out your welcome Scott RIP All at Heavens Gate Cementery in New York. ❤😊

Thank you !

[@bronxbearbud272]

"Heaven's Gate" cemetery? What - - is this where they buried a long forgotten '70s epic romance that went thud at the box office? That's part of the reason why Peggy Hill's mother never permitted contractions in her house! Thank you for the evocative visit to a place I will never again go.

[@robertsquared2916]

My Grandparents are buried there .. 7 sections from their favorite Yankee the Bambino! My aunt has a beer coaster signed by Babe that he gave my grandfather in a bar he was at!

My high school teacher who I loved very much is buried here. Can’t go all the way to New York so was looking for her here. Amazing video.

Reminds me of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. It also has so many well known people and business moguls and is beautiful.

You forgot about Houdini's wife is also there. My dad is buried at the cemetery too and I really l enjoyed this video because you were near his grave. I wish I had ran into you. Hope all is well scott. Keep up the amazing work.

There will definitely be a part two ! I hope your father is resting peacefully

[@TheNatural2379.]

@@SCOTTONTAPE thank you for that. My family lost him 10 years ago to cancer. My life hasn't been the same since. I was only 25 years old when he passed. It would be cool to meet you. Been following your channel for a long time now. But if not it's not meant to be. Life is crazy busy anyway for me. So it most likely won't happen. But thank you for the kind words.

Hi Scott I love your videos, I thought you should know Billy Martin wasn't driving, his friend William Reedy was driving Martin's truck when it slid on a icy road 300 ft down.

But I would love for you to come to my neck of the woods in Virginia and do a video on the reporter and cameraman that were shot and killed on live TV. If you ever get around to it. I would love to see it cause i went to high school with the camera man. Peace and love scott ❤

My nephew who is almost 17 or 18 (I lost count) has actually been playing baseball since he was a little kid and he’s VERY good at it, he wants to be part of the New York Yankees eventually haha it’s been his dream for years. His brother wanted to be a professional baseball player as well but he’s 18 so he may have grown out of that haha but the both of them been playing all the way through high school K-12. They both are VERY good at it! It’s so sweet and nice that you went to pay your respect and visited the graves of all of these people! Happy New Year 🎉
