List of burials at Mount Auburn Cemetery

January 01, 1970

Mount Auburn Cemetery is a historic, "garden-style" burial ground in Boston, Massachusetts, located between Cambridge and Watertown, and dedicated in 1831. The 174-acre grounds has long been the preferred burial ground for the middle class and elite of New England.

This list highlights its notable internees, though many others are contained within the large and scenic grounds.

There is an important instance in which burial at Mt, Auburn was proposed, but did not happen: the abolitionist John Brown, executed by Virginia in 1859. His friend Wendell Phillips, meeting the funeral party in Troy, New York, hoped to take the body to Boston for burial in Mount Auburn Cemetery,[1] as Charles Turner Torrey had been. An impromptu announcement said this was not going to happen, since Brown had wanted to be buried at his farm in North Elba, New York.[2] Phillips, speaking at the funeral, "intimated that Massachusetts would yet possess the remains of John Brown."[3]

In the 2nd half of the 19th century, The Ladies' Repository magazine published a series of brief articles on "The Distinguished Dead of Mt. Auburn", six in 1870.[4]
