Eastern Cemetery is a 28-acre cemetery located at 641 Baxter Avenue in Louisville, Kentucky, United States, abutting Cave Hill Cemetery.[1] It contains about 16,000 graves, though documentation for about 138,000 bodies.[1] This imbalance is due to the cemetery formerly being a site for mass paupers' graves and from the reuse of grave sites.[1][2]
