https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart_Island_(Bronx)#Burials

They're ALWAYS "mass graves".

"The dead are buried in trenches. Babies are placed in coffins, which are stacked in groups of 1,000, measuring five coffins deep and usually in twenty rows.[6] Adults are placed in larger pine boxes placed according to size, and are stacked in sections of 150, measuring three coffins deep in two rows.[6][7]:138[12] There are seven sizes of coffins, which range from 1 to 7 feet (0.30 to 2.13 m) long.[63] Each box is labeled with an identification number, the person's age, ethnicity, and the place where the body was found, if applicable.[51][64] Inmates from the Rikers Island jail are paid $0.50 per hour to bury bodies on Hart Island.[51][65]"

It's called a pauper's grave. Homeless people die too. The state buries them. :/

That island is also proof ghosts don't exist. Aren't there hundreds of thousands buried there? Or is it millions? I can't remember.

Edit: yes, over a million are buried there.
