At which cemetery is Carl Sagan buried?

At which cemetery is Carl Sagan buried? Carl Sagan is buried at Lake View Cemetery in Ithaca, New York.

Sagan died on December 20, 1996, at age 62, after complications from myelodysplasia and pneumonia. His connection to Ithaca was especially strong: he taught at Cornell University, where he became David Duncan Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences and directed the Laboratory for Planetary Studies.

Lake View Cemetery is a historic cemetery overlooking Cayuga Lake. It is not the better-known Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio, a common geographic mix-up. The Ithaca cemetery is also associated with other notable local figures, but Sagan’s grave is the location relevant to this question.

Sagan’s resting place is sometimes confused with a memorial or university site because Cornell preserves extensive records of his career and legacy. However, the burial itself is in Ithaca’s Lake View Cemetery, where his family arranged his interment after his death.
