Locally called "The Canaveral Cemetery", there are two cemeteries on what was Capt. Mills O. Burnham's original 160 acre grant given to him by the government. Capt. Burnham later gave the north 40 acres to George Quarterman, who married one of his daughters - this north area contains the Quarterman Cemeteries.

The Burnham Cemetery should not be confused with the pioneer Artesia cemetery (aka Jeffords Cemetery, aka Canaveral Cemetery).

The Burnham Cemetery is located on a sand ridge paralleling the Banana River shoreline within the security fenceline of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The cemetery is identified as "Site 8BR85" on CCAFS maps.
