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.

Description: Comb graves in Allred Cemetery, Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: February 26, 2013
Creator: Dr. Richard Finch
Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
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.

The Burying Point Cemetery, also known as Charter Street Cemetery, is the oldest cemetery in Salem and the second oldest recorded cemetery in the United States. The Salem Witch Trials Memorial is located right next to the 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.

This cemetery angel standing alone is missing a hand. I don't know why so many angels in Victorian cemeteries today are missing hands.

Greenwood Cemetery open in 1869 after being converted from a farm, and covers 43 acres. It is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. Benjamin Rush (a signer of the Declaration of Independence) lived on the farm in the late 1700s. Over the years, Greenwood's fortunes declined. The cemetery became a target for vandalism and many headstones were toppled and broken. Maintenance became sporadic and vegetation began to consume the cemetery. Only the front third of the cemetery is cleared enough to walk through unimpeded. The rear of the cemetery has reverted to forest with trees springing up through the middle of graves. It is not an unusual sight to see a headstone pinioned between two trees. The Knights of Pythias, upset over conditions at Greenwood, tried unsuccessfully to have their name removed from the cemetery. The court has appointed Gloria Boyd & Kevin Lynch custodians of the cemetery on a temporary basis. They are in charge of getting the grounds in repair and arranging burials. The decision on a permanent owner will be at a later date.
