San Francisco's Cemeteries in Colma
As of 1940, San Francisco has had no cemeteries. They were banned and moved outside of the city, principally to the City of Colma. Only the Mission Dolores Cemetery and National Cemetery at the Presidio  remain in San Francisco today. In the only incorporated city where the dead outnumber the living, Colma's 17 human cemeteries hold over a million people. Colma also has one pet cemetery.
 
The cemetery  landscapes of Colma express the rich and varied nature of groups, by ethnicity, religion, and wealth, who have lived and continue to live in the United States.  
 
 
The density of tombstones in the Jewish (Hills of Eternity Memorial Park) and Roman Catholic (Holy Cross) cemeteries are markedly different. The nineteenth-century section of the Italian Cemetery has no grassy surfaces, as is the case in cemeteries in Italy. Source: Google Maps and Google Earth.
