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 Historic Griffin Cemetery is located on Acton Ave in Homewood, Alabama among tidy cottage homes. The cemetery includes the graves of members of the Phillip Thomas Griffin family, another of Homewood, Alabama's founding families. The Griffin family once owned 320 acres of farmland in the area that surrounded the cemetery. Phillip Thomas and Mary Anne Byars Griffin are buried in the lot along with their children, aunts, uncles and cousins. The land was purchased from the estate of Mary Anne's father's estate after he passed away. They ran a successful farm for many years before selling the land in 1877 to a man named Jessie Kyle, who parceled the land to build homes but left the graveyard intact, where it remains today. Various Griffin family member provide care to the cemetery as needed still today. The last burials in the cemetery took place in the 1970s.
