Oakland Cemetery is the oldest cemetery, as well as one of the largest green spaces, in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. Founded as "Atlanta Cemetery"; in 1850 on six acres (2.4 hectares) of land southeast of the city, it was renamed in 1872 to reflect the large number of oak and magnolia trees growing in the area. By that time, the city had grown and the cemetery had enlarged correspondingly to the current 48 acres (190,000 m2). Since then, Atlanta has continued to expand, so that the cemetery is now located in the center of the city. Oakland is an excellent example of a Victorian-style cemetery, and reflects the "garden cemetery"; movement started and exemplified by Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts.
The original 6 acres (24,000 m2) of Oakland remains one of the oldest historical plots of land in Atlanta, most of the rest of the city having been burned in 1864. Because of its age and location, the cemetery directly reflects the history and changing culture of the City of Atlanta and the significant events it has seen. Names of Atlanta streets, buildings, parks, subdivisions, and more can be found within the cemetery gates. An estimated 70,000 people are interred at Oakland, and while the last plots were sold in 1884, there are still regular burials today. These are largely conducted on family-owned plots or areas owned by Atlanta (one of the most recent being former mayor Maynard Jackson, whose plot was contributed by the city).
I have to have a headstone put in a graveyard, so, in a ghoulish way, you might say I went shopping. Nothing much took the departed's fancy.
But look at the fancy etching they can do now.

We decided randomly to go do a photo shoot in a cemetery and Angel was going to dress as Gothic as possible. She didn't really have any Gothic clothing of her own, so after much borrowing, this is what she got, which turned out great!
I like how the gray stands out against the green. This is the oldest corner of the cemetery, and the saddest in terms of how the gravestones haven't been cared for.

Mount Hope Cemetery is a historic cemetery in southern Boston, Massachusetts, between the neighborhoods of Roslindale and Mattapan. It was established in 1852 as a private cemetery, and was acquired by the city five years later. It is the city's first cemetery to be laid out in the rural cemetery style, with winding lanes. It was at first 85 acres (34 ha) in size; it was enlarged by the addition of 40 acres (16 ha) in 1929. Its main entrance is on Walk Hill Street, on the northern boundary.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 2009.

Newell Cemetery is Attleboro's oldest burial ground, with the exception of a Native American one whose exact location is now unknown. It was established in 1715, and is still accepting new interments. Thus, the art and sentiments of three centuries can be found there.

The final resting place of many of the 28 original Rochdale Pioneers, founders of the worldwide co-operative movement. An excellent self-guided cemetery trail is available online at www.rochdale.gov.uk/pdf/463%20-%20Pioneers%27%20graves%20...
The booklet includes brief biographies of the pioneers who are buried here and photographs of some of them. It also lists the final resting place of those Pioneers who were not buried in this local cemetery. The graves are well indicated by a series of plaques at the side of the path. They were repaired and cleaned in 2012 by Co-operative Funeralcare. The cemetery is managed by Rochdale Borough and is one of the best kept and least threatening cemeteries that I have visited.
They are not mentioned in the trail but I also came across an interesting collection of geological specimens in this cemetery. I assume that they were originally samples from a stone mason of the types of stone which were for sale for making the memorial stones. They look like gate posts and are dotted along the main path. Each 'post' is made of the appropriate stone and labelled with its name and place of origin, so there is Old Red Sandstone from Dumbartonshire, slate from the quarries at Dinorwic, local Millstone Grit from Blackstone Edge and granite from Aberdeen, among several others, some of which are now illegible.

Settlers began arriving in this part of Limestone County in the 1850s. Soon Mount Calm community developed with a Masonic Lodge, stores, post office, school, and churches. James Samuel Kimmel, a pioneer settler, donated land for this cemetery, and the first marked grave is dated 1870. In 1881, when the Texas & St. Louis Railway bypassed the village, residents moved north to the railroad line and began New Mount Calm in Hill County. The cemetery, which has been enlarged and is still in use, is all that remains of the earlier settlement. (1984) (Marker No. 3487)
