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.
