Lansdale Cemetery is the largest in the Borough of Lansdale in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania - more than 3,000 people are buried there. It was originally run as a for-profit company by the Lansdale Cemetery Association, incorporated June 7, 1880, until the original board of trustees passed on in the 1950s. In 1964/1965, the Association was replaced by the nonprofit Lansdale Cemetery, Inc. As of 2012, the cemetery still hosts burials and contains roughly 200 unoccupied plots.
