Template:Short description Hackensack Cemetery is a cemetery located in Hackensack, New Jersey, United States, founded by Baptists, 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 Hackensack men organized the Johnson Free Public Library. It's the burial place of Edward D. Easton, & Ben E. King.
