Description[]
Forest Hills Cemetery is a rural cemetery located in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens in New York City, New York.
History[]
Following his death at the hands of a burglar, Ben Parker was buried at Forest Hills Cemetery. He was survived by his wife May Parker, and his nephew, Peter Parker, who visited his grave site on many occasions.
As part of an extended scheme to avenge himself against Peter Parker, his old foe Norman Osborn replaced his beloved aunt with an imposter, who subsequently died. As many believed that this was the actual May Parker, she was briefly buried at Forest Hills Cemetery and had a head stone next to Ben Parker's grave.
An old friend of May's named Willie Lumpkin, believing that she had died, came to the cemetery to lay down flowers and pay her respects. He expressed great loneliness until a gust of wind blew the roses away. Chasing after them, he met another mourner named Doreen Greenwald. Willie and Doreen struck up a friendship and decided to spend time with one another during the cold holiday season. [1]
Mayoral candidate Lisa Parfrey was murdered by Lily Hollister. She was buried at Forest Hills Cemetery. [2]
