Hackensack Cemetery is a cemetery located in Hackensack, New Jersey, United States, founded by Baptist, Dutch Reformed, and Congregational benefactors in the 1890s, as a result of overcrowding in local churchyards and availability of open space. The same group of prominent Hackehsack men organized the Johnson Free Public Library.
