Mulkey Pioneer Cemetery is a small historic cemetery located in the south hills of Eugene, Oregon, United States, in the Hawkins Heights portion of the Churchill neighborhood. The hilltop, with sweeping views of west Eugene, the Willamette Valley, the Coburg Hills, and the Cascades, was first used as a cemetery in 1853. The cemetery property was deeded to the Bailey Hill School District in 1891. Management was taken over by the Mulkey Cemetery Association in 1925. The Association still maintains the land, and became a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation in 2008. The cemetery is located at 3335 South Lambert Street. (www.mulkeycemetery.org/)
Durrington Cemetery is a little out of the way, especially if your using public transport, but is worth the effort. I'd rank it up there as one my favorite cemeteries I've done.
It's set in a large beautiful woodlands area, with a huge collection of both historical graves and some amazingly decorated modern sections. That on it's own would be amazing, but also throw in some of the wildlife, including a couple of deer I saw wandering around, and it ranks up there as one of my favorites in the area.

The family of this name settled on the Chippawa creek in 1789 and one of their
original log houses still stands. They were of “Pennsylvania Dutch” blood and were
loyal to the Crown in the Revolution and the war of 1812. The spelling of the name has
been altered during the elapsed century and “Miseners” are numerous in Welland county. (Niagara Historical Society 1910)
This lost cemetery is used from 1921 until 1981 for the psychiatric patients from asylum Rekem.
Asylum history:
In 1792 the French claimed castle d'Aspremont-Lynden and established it as a military hospital. They used it until 1795, after the half of the castle demolished.
From 1809 the building served as an asylum for beggars and from 1891 to 1920 as the reeducation institution for boys.
After a big renovation, the castle was in use from 1921 to 1967 as a psychiatric institution. In 1974 the institution moved to a new location and is still in use today.

Juedischer Friedhof Kuppenheim,
Deutschland
April 12, 2015 - For over 300 years this was the only burial ground permitted for Jews in Prague. The last burial occurred in 1787. It is thought that over 100,000 people were laid to rest here, due to lack of space bodies were buried one on top of the other and records indicate there are up to twelve layers.
The cemetery is in very poor condition. It doesn't look as if anyone has taken care of it for years. Some of the headstones date from the early 1800's. There are many infants and young children interred in these old country cemeteries.

The Vienna Central Cemetery (German: Wiener Zentralfriedhof) is one of the largest cemeteries in the world, largest by number of interred in Europe and most famous cemetery among Vienna's nearly 50 cemeteries.(Wikipedia)
By the 1870s Grand Haven's Central Park was filling up with bodies so a new cemetery site had to be found. In 1873 the first burial took place in this cemetery. In the 1880s all the remains in Central Park were dug up and moved here. The cemetery is still in use and has room for many future residents.
Description: Comb graves in Wilder Cemetery, Fentress Co., Tenn.

Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.
