Magnolia Cemetery

Magnolia Cemetery is a historic city cemetery located in Mobile, Alabama, United States. It spans more than 100 acres (40 ha). It served as Mobile's primary, and almost exclusive, burial place during the 19th century and is filled with many elaborate Victorian-era monuments. It is the final resting

place for many of Mobile's 19th- and early 20th-century citizens. The cemetery is roughly bounded by Frye Street to the north, Gayle Street to the east, and Ann Street to the west. Virginia Street originally formed the southern border before the cemetery was expanded and now cuts east–west through the center of the cemetery. Magnolia contains more than 80,000 burials and remains an active, though very limited, burial site today.
