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.
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.

This is the largest Commonwealth War Graves Commission
cemetery in the world. It is the final resting place of nearly
12,000 Commonwealth servicemen, more than 8,300 of whom
remain unidentified, and of four German soldiers. Those buried
here died from the earliest fighting around Ypres
in October
1914 to the final weeks of the war on the Western
Front
in 1918, but the majority fell during the Third Battle of
Ypres
in 1917.
Around the eastern boundary of the cemetery stands the Tyne
Cot Memorial. It bears the names of some 35,000 officers and
men of the forces of the United Kingdom and New Zealand,
nearly all of whom died between 16 August 1917 and the
Armistice. They are known as the missing: men whose bodies
were never recovered; whose graves had been unrecorded, lost
or destroyed by battle; or whose remains could not be identified
and who lie beneath a headstone bearing the inscription ‘Known
Unto God.’
Sir Herbert Baker, one of the Commission’s principal architects,
designed both the cemetery and the memorial, with sculptures
by Joseph Armitage and F.V. Blundstone. The memorial was
created to supplement the Menin Gate in Ieper, which was found
to have insufficient space to record the names of all the missing
of the Salient. Of the 205,000 Commonwealth servicemen of the
First World War commemorated in Belgium, more than 100,000
have no known grave
