No! Not even in the US of A
"With more than 300,000 people buried, Arlington National Cemetery has the second-largest number of people buried of any national cemetery in the United States. Arlington National Cemetery conducts approximately 6,400 burials each year. The largest of the 130 national cemeteries is the Calverton National Cemetery, on Long Island, near Riverhead, N.Y. That cemetery conducts more than 7,000 burials each year" arlingtoncemetery.org
The one in St Petersburg, Russia, is larger as is Rookwood Cemetery in Sydney, Australia
