Most Common Cemetery Names


For the purpose of this list, words like Cemetery and Churchyard have been disregarded, as well as governmental entities (City, County) or religious buildings (Church, Cathedral Meeting House, Temple). Some longer, formal versions of names have been classified with the shorter version: Mount Calvary is listed with Calvary, Holy Trinity with Trinity. "Landscape names" are names which reference topography, hydrology, or flora. Landscape names, religious names, and miscellaneous names are ranked separately. Some cemeteries are counted under more than one heading.

"Enjoy the hospitable entertainment of a political graveyard."
Henry L. Clinton, Apollo Hall, New York City, February 3, 1872		 The Political Graveyard

The Political Graveyard is a web site about U.S. political history and cemeteries. Founded in 1996, it is the Internet's most comprehensive free source for American political biography, listing 229,196 politicians, living and dead.
 
  The coverage of the site includes (1) the President, Vice President, members of Congress, elected state and territorial officeholders in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories; and the chief elected official, typically the mayor, of qualifying municipalities; (2) candidates at election, including primaries, for any of the above; (3) all federal judges and all state appellate judges; (4) certain federal officials, including the federal cabinet, diplomatic chiefs of mission, consuls, U.S. district attorneys, collectors of customs and internal revenue, and members of major federal commissions; and (5) state and national political party officials, including delegates, alternate delegates, and other participants in national party nominating conventions.
