Czech National Cemetery (Cesky Narodni Hrbitov)
Entrance at 2200 C Street SW.

Established in 1895, it was known as the Bohemian National Cemetery until the early 1940's when the name was changed due to the changed connotation of the term 'bohemian'.

St. John's Cemetery (Hribitov Sv. Jana)
17th to 22nd Streets and 12th Avenue SE (south side).

The cemetery was established in 1870 by St. Mary's parish (now Immaculate Conception parish). It was purchased by the St. Wenceslaus parish in 1881 specifically for Czech Catholic burials. It is currently administered by a cemetery committee consisting of parishioners from the St. Wenceslaus and St. Ludmila parishes.
