The Alexander Cemetery is situated at Alexandrovka microdistrict of Rostov-on-Don. It has the total area of about 0.03 km2. The exact date of establishment of the cemetery is unknown.[1]

In 1970s, when the Northern Cemetery was opened, it was decided to close the Alexander Cemetery. Later, due to the critical situation with the shortage of free space in the Northern Cemetery, the Rostov-on-Don City Administration decided to allow to bury relatives of the ones already buried at the territory of the Alexander Cemetery.[2]
