Clara-Glen (or Clara Glenn) Cemetery definitely filled a need: According to writer Judy Branin, it holds the remains of over 3,000 dearly departed dogs, cats, horses, monkeys, rodents, birds and other animals.Ĭlara-Glen hosts the pets of both “regular” people and famous people, but rather than focus on the humans, we’ll focus on some of the animals themselves. Such is the case in Linwood, where in 1918 Clara and Glen White converted two acres of farmland into an eponymous final resting place for furry and feathered family members. It IS unusual, however, for that neighborhood burial ground to be the eternal resting place of not humans, but pets. It’s not unusual to find the occasional cemetery coexisting with homes in suburban New Jersey neighborhoods it’s the byproduct of human history combined with an ever-growing living population that sucks up every remaining spot of Garden State real estate.
