Cemetery operated by the National Cemetery Administration (U.S. Veterans Administration).
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.
Highgate Cemetery opened in 1839, as one of the "Magnificent Seven" - a series of modern cemeteries to hold the bodies of London's dead. The original design was by Stephen Geary, and the cemetery comprises of two parts - the East and West parts. The West Cemetery holds the Egyptian Avenue and Circle of Lebanon.
This is an 1890 cabin associated with the Bonanza Cemetery. It doesn't appear to have any association other than being a place where said cabin could sit as a low-key tourist attraction, as it were.

This ancient cemetery can be found at the top of a mountain called Koyasan - the home of Japanese Shingon Buddhism. For the Japanese, cemeteries aren't necessarily sad places - they're where you go to commune with your ancestors and ask for their blessings.
St. John Cemetery, Cincinnati is located at 4423 Vine Street, in St. Bernard, Ohio. This Roman Catholic cemetery was founded in 1849, during a raging cholera epidemic. Many of Cincinnati's other cemeteries were already full of the victims. Many of Cincinnati's oldest German families are buried in this cemetery and the old stones are written in German.
