About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Leith "old" cemetery sits in the middle of the abandoned whaling station.

When the whaling station was in use, it was located about a quarter-mile further North and the cemetery was on a bare hillside. A landslide buried part of the original whaling station, hence its nickname "Jericho'.

The newer Leith cemetery was consecrated in 1917, when this "old" cemetery became full.
