Congressional Cemetery is a 35-acre historic yet active burial ground located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Initially known as the Washington Parish Burial Ground, Congressional became the first cemetery of national memory, as Congress bought sites, buried noted civil servants and financed the infrastructure.

Among the nearly 70,000 burials at Congressional are scores of noteworthy citizens who left their mark on the city and the nation. You can leave your own legacy among these intriguing individuals through permanent memorialization. Plots of different price points are available for purchase in all sections of the cemetery, each with unique historical landscapes, features, monuments and historic figures. Preplanning of funeral and burial arrangements is highly encouraged.
