The grandfather of all rural cemeteries, this 1831 site in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is well landscaped with a variety of trees and shrubs. We were inspired by their fine brochure and numerous cast-iron road signs. Note: Mt. Auburn's chapel is built of Potsdam sandstone! Visit its website in "Links."
