Highgate Cemetery East was the first London Cemetery I visited after my interest in cemeteries started, and it ranks as one of my all time favourites. As you enter you enter your greeted by a huge array of impressive monuments, and there are more than a few famous names as you look around, including the monument to Karl Marx.
As you head deeper in it becomes incredibly rural, you could almost forget your in London. In the woods though is an unbelievably high number of headphones densely packed in the woods. There’s lots to see on the main paths, but the real joy comes when you wander down some of the less used paths and find one of many hidden sights to find. A must visit for any UK cemetery enthusiast.
Margaret worked for me at Tavistock Library in the 1980s.
A passionate family historian and a lovely person. She died far too young.

Metairie Cemetery in the New Orleans area (it's about a minute off I-10 and about ten minutes from downtown) is a large cemetery where many notable folks are buried.
Among the people who chose this cemetery to be their final resting place are jazz musician Louis Prima, Civil War generals P.G.T. Beauregard (and his daughter) and John Bell Hood, Jim Garrison (the only lawyer to bring a case to trial in the assassination of President Kennedy; Kevin Costner played him in the movie JFK), Hall of Fame baseball player Mel Ott, local politician deLesseps (Chep) Morrison, and others.
Jefferson Davis was also originally interred here (where the Louisiana soldier monument now stands), though he was later moved to Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia.

Bonaventure Cemetery is a semi-rural cemetery located on a scenic bluff of the Wilmington River, east of Savannah, Georgia.
The cemetery became famous when it was featured in the 1994 novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, and in the movie, directed by Clint Eastwood, based on the book. It is the largest of the city's municipal cemeteries, containing nearly 160 acres (0.65 km2).
The cemetery is located on the site of a plantation originally owned by John Mullryne. On March 10, 1846, Commodore Josiah Tattnall, Jr., sold the 600-acre (2.4 km2) Bonaventure Plantation and its private cemetery to Peter Wiltberger. Major William H. Wiltberger, the son of Peter, formed the Evergreen Cemetery Company on June 12, 1868. On July 7, 1907 the City of Savannah purchased the Evergreen Cemetery Company, making the cemetery public and changing the name to Bonaventure Cemetery.

Silverton Cemetery is in the desert near the ghost town. Silverton was established in the 1880s after miners came to the region seeking silver. Lead and zinc was also found in the region. Most miners moved on to the larger centre of Broken Hill nearby and Silverton gradually dwindled towards becoming a ghost town. It has been maintained as a tourist destination. Located in far western New South Wales in Australia.
