WORLD PREMIERE Controlled by the Department of Correction, Hart Island has been New York City’s “potter’s field” for nearly 150 years — the final resting place for the city’s poor and disconnected. It is said to be the largest tax-funded cemetery in the world, holding more than one million people. Many New Yorkers do not know about it.
