Beech Grove Cemetery is located in Muncie, Indiana. A municipal facility Beech Grove is supported by a combination of private and public dollars. The Cemetery is governed by a Board of Directors, appointed by the Muncie City Council.
Chartered in 1841 with one and one half acres on the banks of the White River, Beech Grove has grown to encompass over 100 acres, this makes it one of the largest cemeteries in the state of Indiana.
