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 cemetery was 30 acres in size bounded by Bladensburg Road NE, K Street NE, 17th Street NE, and Benning Road NE. The cemetery was established in 1871 and was closed by an Act of Congress on 3 August 1894. Bodies were moved from the cemetery to other cemeteries, mainly the Woodlawn Cemetery, from 1895 through 1898. The cemetery was an integrated cemetery, although most burials were African American.

Today the Hechinger Mall presently exists on the site of the former cemetery.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 529460 [Graceland Cemetery (historical)].
