So you want to create a Hamlet of the Dead, who will be paying the taxes? As for the zip code argument what does that matter we have zip codes that cross boundaries they are not tied to municipal boundaries...

In Pinelawn there is an industrial area just south of Beth Moses cemetery. This includes the town of Babylon landfill, Covanta energy plant and power plant (which believe it or not is actually named the Pinelawn Power Plant), so these companies have to pay taxes in order to be there. Also I don't think the United States counts the dead population in a census so correct me if I'm wrong. Also these cemeteries have to pay taxes, they can't just be there for free, look at all the land they take up. I just made the Pinelawn zipcode so the hamlet could actually have a mailing address and so people actually know about it unlike places such as Riverside and Flanders (which actually use the "Riverhead, NY 11901" zipcode) but yet Riverhead is tied into their fate as Riverside is actually worse than Riverhead (also the Suffolk County jail is labeled as Riverhead but since it is south of the Peconic River it is Riverside), Flanders has some nice parts but other parts are crappy. So while you are true about zip codes that cross boundaries and are not tied to municipal boundaries, I believe that should be fixed as why should one places fate be tied into another.
Every other place I've lived you simply pay taxes to the county.
I wish it could be simple but on Long Island you have to pay town taxes (if you live in a village though you have lower town taxes but you also have to pay village taxes), county tax, state tax, federal tax and school taxes
