The list of cemeteries in the United States 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. The list is for notable cemeteries and is not an attempt to list all the cemeteries in the United States.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources. Contents- Alabama
