In Shanghai, several cemeteries were famous in Shanghai such as cemetery on Shandong Road, cemetery in Pudong, cemetery in Jingan Temple and cemetery in area of Eight-Immortal Bridge and so on.

Shandong-Road Foreign Cemetery was located between Jiujiang Road and Hankou Road. In 1844, Shanghai foreigners bought two pieces of lands for cemeteries, but it was not successful. Later it was changed for another larger area as cemetery. The tombs here were for foreign sailors who died in Shanghai. Due to most of dead sailors’ sea-burial, the tomb-users were few, while in the earlier time, sailors from Ningbo of Zhejiang province were too many, so this cemetery nearly was the made for sailors from Ningbo. Hence it was also called Ningbo Cemetery. Since 1866, it gradually became the center of the dead-burial. But this cemetery was located in downtown and harmful for urban sanitation and urban environment. The stricter limits were set for man-burial. In 1880, Ningbo believers of British Protestant Episcopal Church established Ningbo Bethel and in 1902 it was rebuilt to be the St.Paul Church. After 1949, the churches and cemeteries were both swept away. In 1980s, it was re-established as Huangpu Stadium.

In 1854, the British and French Concession Authorities maneuvered Marine Corps to help them with attacking Union Of Knives. Due to Shandong-Road Foreign Cemetery was for foreign sailors, the burial of the casualty of Britain and France was done by Government of Qing Dynasty. The local authorities selected North-Gate area as their cemetery. In 1912, the wall Shanghai county-seat was dismantled. The remains buried here were moved to Maxianqiao Cemetery.

Pudong Foreign Cemetery was also called Lujiazui Foreign Cemetery. It was also for those dead sailors in Shanghai. After 1949, it is changed to the Pudong Park.

Eight-Immortal-Bridge Foreign Cemetery was located in Huaihai Road. After 1949, it was rebuilt to be Huaihai Park.
