Oakwood Cemetery was organized in 1848 and is comprised of about 300 acres. It was created as a park-like setting north and east of the City of Troy and the Village of Lansingburg. Oakwood Cemetery is non-sectarian and non-profit and includes a panoramic view of the Hudson River Valley with trails, ponds, and waterfalls. It includes a National Historic landmark The Gardner Earl Memorial Chapel and Crematorium, mausoleums, burial vaults, an Urn Garden and both upright and flat bronze memorials. Hundreds of burials were also re-interred from old Troy Cemetery on Mount Ida and the old burial ground on Third Street.

The Gardner Earl Memorial Chapel and Crematorium (1888-1890) at Oakwood Cemetery, Troy, New York
This map can also be accessed from Oakwood's own site. I put it here to share a few details. The Cemetery opened in 1850 and is one of the oldest in the US. There are about 28 miles of roads within its boundaries and there are an estimated 60,000 eternal residence and space for more. That puts it in the top 10 in size in the US.
Window, Gardner Earl Memorial Chapel and Crematorium. Although the Earl Memorial contains numerous Tiffany windows, this particular example is by Maitland Thompson. It dates to 1899.
