At roughly 100 acres in size, Ocean View is one of Staten Island’s largest cemeteries. But this scenic burial ground was once known by another name: Valhalla Burial Park. 🪦
In Norse mythology, Valhalla was “the hall of the fallen,” presided over by the god Odin. Here, guarded by wolves and eagles, heroes slain in battle enjoyed a warriors’ paradise— spending their days fighting and feasting.
The name was changed sometime during the 1940s, but Ocean View remains a place of peaceful contemplation.
