New York City has ruled out using Hart Island for “mass burials” after drone footage and imagery circulated of a large trench at the public cemetery.
Mayor Bill de Blasio released a statement on Twitter about Hart Island stating the public cemetery would not be used as a “mass burial” site despite reports.
The mayor went on to state there was no plans for any “mass burial” on Hart Island to account for people who have died during the pandemic. Instead, anyone buried there would be “treated with dignity”.
Hart Island, located at the western end of Long Island Sound, has been used by the city for the last 150 years as a public cemetery and is managed by the department of corrections.
