CALVERTON NATIONAL CEMETERY The largest military cemetery in the world in terms of size is Calverton National Cemetery. Located on Long Island, it is new to the grave game, only opening in 1978. Even though it spreads over 1,000 acres, Calverton is filling up fast, with more than 200,000 interments already and another 7,000 per year at present. Funerals there occur so often that the cemetery has set up almost an assembly-line process of burying people, allowing numerous interments to occur at once.
