List of cemeteries in the United States

This is a list of cemeteries in the United States, with selected notable interments. The list includes both active and historic sites, and does not include pet cemeteries. At the end of the list by states, cemeteries in territories of the United States are included.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

The list is for notable cemeteries and is not an attempt to list all the cemeteries in the United States. Thus entries that are red links with no other notable characteristics mentioned may be removed.
