I mean, garden/park cemeteries were pretty popular for a time! In Boston, Mt. Auburn and Forest Hills are both of this type, really scenic beautiful places that are fun to hike around and just explore the way you would any other park.
Also, some informal, super old graves get assimilated into other properties over time; Boston's Arnold Arboretum has roughly a dozen graves hidden in it, out of the way but not too difficult to chase down. So, while Mt. Auburn and Forest Hills are graveyard parks, the Arboretum is a park that just HAPPENS to have a few really old graves in it. Come for the bonsai, stay for the dead people!
