Rabosai, I am glad to see that RDF is posting again (that's you, RDF from 
Chicago, IIRC?). I fondly recall my early Areivim days (sadly, I no longer 
read Areivim), when RDF was very active.

RDF: I am sure you meant "C instead of *J* cemetaries", for the level of 
observance the cemetary keepers have and their affiliation is irrelevant to 
the tuma exuded by the graves. C would of course stand for Christian, not 
Conservative. However, I believe that, while NJ are not metame beohel, they 
are metame immediately above them, so the rabbis would likely rule to avoid 
any cemetary.
