A graveyard is often attached or associated with a church. Often you must have an associstion with the church associated with the graveyard. They are often smaller, not as maintained and even has much older markings.

As for the etymology, the word “cemetery” stems from the Greek “koimeterion,” which means “dormitory” or “resting place.” Early Christians came to use the term to refer to a person’s final resting place (rather than in the literal sleep context).
