The Weehawken Cemetery, like neighboring Hoboken Cemetery, is not located in its namesake town of Weehawken but rather on the western slope of the Hudson Palisades in North Bergen, New Jersey, with its main entrance on Bergen Turnpike. At its east side the cemetery is overlooked by the Bergen Crest Mausoleum and the Garden State Crematory. and nearby Flower Hill Cemetery.
Unclaimed bodies found after the collapse of the first attempt at the construction of the Uptown Hudson Tubes in 1880, a project later abandoned until 1908, were buried at the cemetery.
