From this I learned that it appears the NYPD reserves a special section of the Holy Rood Cemetery in Westbury, L.I for its burials of dead babies abandoned in places like the trash can at Dutch Kills Playground a few months ago. That is… kind of interesting. I might have assumed they used Potter’s Field. There is a section at St. Michaels’ that appears to be all or mostly infants but I can’t say I noticed such an area at Calvary.

Showing the NYPD with the casket with little “Baby Dutch James Hope” in it, being taken out of the Hearse into the “Most precious Blood” Catholic Church at 32-23 36th Street in Astoria, NY for the Funeral. The Baby boy was found dead on 02-17-18 at the Dutch Kills Park on 36th Avenue in Astoria, NY. He was a couple of weeks old. The Funeral was covered by the “Children of Hope” Foundation and the O’Shea Funeral home.
