It is named after the Bone family who owned the land and began the cemetery in about 1940. Bone Cemetery is located on N. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. between N. Clarke St. and N. Wilkinson St.

As with many African-American cemeteries, many markers are made of cement with letters that are stamped by hand. The largest and most amazing example I’ve seen of this type of marker is shown above in the Oden family plot which includes an over 6-foot tall anchor and 2 large stars.
