The Temple Cemetery was established in 1851 with the purchase of three acres by the Hebrew Benevolent Burial Association and still serves Nashville's first Jewish congregation, The Temple, Congregation Ohabai Sholom. It blends early urban burial ground practices with picturesque elements of later Victorian garden cemeteries. The Temple Cemetery was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
Hove Cemetery is one of Brighton and Hove's big 5, and my own local big cemetery, but is worth seeking out by any fan of cemeteries, or historical locations.
It's split in to two distinct sections, the north half being the more modern, with a more open layout. Not as much historic stuff, but still worth seeing, especially in spring and summer when much of the flora is at it‘s best.
malmö eastern cemetery, malmö, sweden, architect: sigurd lewerentz
'While other projects illustrate different stages and aspects of Lewerentz’s career, this project encapsulates his life’s work. He carried out site planning, landscape architecture, and building design from 1916, when he won the design competition, until the early 1970s, a testament to his longevity and versatility. He organized the Malmö Eastern Cemetery around an existing ridge extending through the site, placing a central path along that high ground connecting the eastern and western entrances. Major buildings are placed close to the ridge with graves to the north and south. These include St. Birgitta Chapel from the 1920s in Nordic Classical style, a Functionalist crematorium from the 1930s, the twin chapels of St. Gertrud and St. Knut from the 1940s that demonstrate his mastery of building materials, and the Brutalist Flower Kiosk from the late 1960s.
He separated sections of graves by hedges, providing a more intimate scale to the large burial grounds and enclosed the entire site in trees separating it from surrounding urban areas.
Even in the early 1970s, by this point involved in the project for over 55 years, he continued on various tasks including updating plans and designing the custodian’s house.
Sigurd Lewerentz passed away in 1975, age 90. His final resting place is Malmö Eastern Cemetery."

Florida National Cemetery is located in the Withlacoochee State Forest, approximately 50 miles (80 km) north of Tampa. The forest was acquired by the federal government from private landowners between 1936 and 1939 under the provisions of the U.S. Land Resettlement Administration. The United States Forest Service managed the property until a lease-purchase agreement transferred it to the Florida Board of Forestry in 1958. Currently, Withlacoochee State Forest is the second-largest state forest in Florida, divided into eight distinct tracts of land.
In 1842, Congress encouraged settlement here by establishing the Armed Occupation Act. The law granted a patent for 160 acres (0.65 km2) to any man who kept a gun and ammunition, built a house, cultivated 5 acres (20,000 m2) of the land and remained there for at least five years. Settlers moved in to take advantage of the generous offer. The area contained abundant timber and suitable farmland, appealing attributes to frontiersmen. In 1845 Florida was granted statehood.
During the Civil War, a sugar mill on the Homosassa River supplied sugar to the Confederacy. A robust citrus-growing industry developed in the eastern part of the area and became a focus of intense economic expansion soon after the war.
In 1980, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced that it would establish a new national cemetery in Florida, its fourth. Two major locations for the cemetery were studied: property near the Cross Florida Barge Canal and the Withlacoochee State Forest. The Withlacoochee site, though more environmentally sensitive, was supported by government officials. In February 1983, the state transferred land to the VA for the development of a Florida National Cemetery. The first burial was in 1988 and a columbarium was opened in November 2001.
In 1999, federal officials asked the Florida Cabinet to grant land for the expansion of the Florida National Cemetery, providing 65,000 to 100,000 grave sites for veterans in the state. Environmentalists argued that Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Forestry Division officials did not state whether the 179 acres of land within the Withlacoochee State Forest was surplus in accordance to a Florida constitutional amendment concerning the acquisition of land for conservation. Before the Florida Cabinet meeting on October 26, the Department Veterans Affairs and the Florida Cabinet agreed that 42 acres would be removed as they served as the habitat for several endangered species. Florida governor Jeb Bush and the Florida Cabinet voted 7–0 in favor of selling 137 acres of land to the Department of Veterans Affairs for the cemetery's expansion
Richview is a hard to locate little cemetery. Caught in the middle of today's bustling world. It is in the delta. Right between Hwy 427 Southbound, 427 Northbound and the 401. Access is only available from Eglinton Ave West. Go under the bridge of the 427, look for a gate and a little roadway. Follow it up to this well kept cemetery with cars and trucks whizzing by in both directions.
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.
