About us

Youngs Memorial Cemetery is a non-profit organization that dates back to the 17th century. It is the final resting place of Theodore Roosevelt and attracts thousands of visitors every year. It is also the burial place of a number of T.R.’s descendants, as well as those of Thomas Youngs, a mariner who settled in Oyster Bay around 1650. Members of other early Oyster Bay families are also buried at Youngs. The cemetery is overseen by a board of trustees and maintained by a superintendent, in cooperation with the adjacent Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary. There are no burial plots currently for sale, but we do offer columbarium niches.
