I am dismayed that you haven't run a comparison of cemetery per capita rates for different areas in order to determine where Staten Island falls on the cemetery-having continuum. You're risking ruining your geek cred, my friend.
I have no idea either. But I'm going to say it's a lot, because Staten Island isn't all that big. So those have to be some wee little cemeteries or else the island is mostly cemetery.
I dunno, babe...it *is* SI after all. One would have to reckon the murder/suicide pacts would skyrocket every time the ferrys and other connections to civilization went down ;)
That is exactly why I make sure to have smart people on my flist. The simplest explanation is usually right, and what is more simple and logical than the inevitable murder/suicides! You are very brill. =)
I always thought that was so odd. I had to go to a funeral a year ago there and it was like meet the family day. We went to four different cemetaries afterwards to pay our respects. Biz-arre.

That's about one cemetery per 5,900 people.
(I have no idea if that's a large or small amount.)
