On the southwest side of the mall, outside of the theaters entrance. Surrounded by a green iron fence. An American flag on a pole is to the right. I don't know of any other cemetery with a mall only steps away.

Cemeteries and malls don't usually mix, but at this mall, there's one right by the door. Supposedly the only way they could build the Rotterdam Square Mall was to leave the Vedder family cemetery be. They just built the mall around it.
