Trying to locate a cemetery

According to the death certificate dated 2 Nov 1918, it's: borough of Manhattan.

Place of burial is listed as "Calvary Cross" and then it lists undertaker as A. Prozano? (could have that wrong--the handwriting on both is atrocious). There's a J. Prozano listed below. Then an address of 238 Elizabeth. My ancestor was Sicilian if that helps at all....

Any idea where this cemetery could possibly be? I don't know that part of New York State at all and have no idea if this is even in Manhattan...

Calvary cemetery located in Woodlawn queens. It's huge here is the link. I tried looking up her name in obiturary for 1918 without luck. Sometimes they used to place name church Cemetry. The death cert actually reads Calvary Cem the short version.
Calvary Cemetry has several names all with Calvary people from NYC and surrounding areas were buried there. A number of my relatives are there. Hope this helps you.

Oooooh, thank you. I'll call on Monday and see if they can give me a specific location of her grave. She died during the Spanish Influenza pandemic so there might not have been an obit. I appreciate the help!
