Frankfort Cemetery \ Frankfort Kentucky

Frankfort Cemetery began in the early 1840s and was the second incorporated Memorial park in the country. It overlooks the city of Frankfort and the Kentucky River. Daniel and Rebecca Boone were the first to be laid to rest in the cemetery. Previously buried near their final home in Missouri they were moved here with great ceremony in September 1845. Since that time thousands of Frankfort’s citizens have joined them including many famous Kentuckians - from Governors and soldiers, statesmen and business owners. The cemetery still has many available plots and is used on a daily basis.

The Frankfort Cemetery is proud to be the final resting place of many notable figures in both Frankfort and Kentucky’s history. Perhaps most notable are Daniel and Rebecca Boone.

While the Frankfort Cemetery welcomes and encourages visitors, school groups, and touring groups to pay their respects to the Boones and countless others, we are still a functioning cemetery.

Funeral services occur nearly weekly on these hallowed grounds. The management of the Frankfort Cemetery would therefore like to request that all touring groups of any kind please contact our office prior to scheduling an event. Our office number is 502-227-2403. The office is open Monday thru Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm EST; closed at lunch.

We appreciate you assisting in ensuring families may mourn their loved ones in peace.
