St. Ignatius Cemetery is situated within the abandoned Borough of Centralia just off of Rt. 61 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania.

There are approximately 400 plus graves within this cemetery, which is very well maintained.

The community was abandoned because of a coal mine fire burning beneath the town for over 50 years. There are about 10 residents who remained in their homes and did not want to move.
