Greenwich Cemetery is a rural cemetery located on a scenic bluff of the Wilmington River, east of Savannah, Georgia.[2] It stands on the site of the former Greenwich Plantation and became an addition to Bonaventure Cemetery (itself on the former grounds of Bonaventure Plantation) in 1933,[3] and it is the newest of the city's four municipal cemeteries.[2]

The entrance to the cemetery, located at 330 Bonaventure Road, is shared with Bonaventure Cemetery.[2] Immediately inside the gates is the large and ornate Gaston Tomb of William Gaston.
