How to Visit
Wellwood Cemetery is in Suffolk County, Long Island, NY. There are very good driving directions on their website: http://wellwoodcemetery.com/directions/. The Cong. Beth Hackness Anshei Mieletz plot is in Block 49:
The plot is very large and mostly empty until you walk toward the back. It is clear that the organizers have sold off much of the vacant area toward the front to other organizations (from what I can see on the detailed map: Cong. Shomrei Emunah and Chevra Gemilath Chesevra Stropkolder).
History
Wellwood Cemetery is an annex that was added on to Beth Moses Cemetery. It is the only known active cemetery in the NY Metro area that is still interring Jews who descend from Mielec, Poland.
