St. James' Episcopal Church Cemetery was founded in 1849 as a parish burial ground on the far corner of the church's 20-acre property, at Winn and what is now Polk Street. The cemetery board of St. James' Episcopal Church governs it, and its map was first drawn in 1955 and revised in 2013.

The cemetery holds the graves of Cobb County families such as the Glovers, Lawrences, Sessions, Whitlocks, Hunts, Schillings and Northcutts. John Glover was Marietta's first mayor, and his wife donated the land for the Confederate Cemetery. A columbarium and the "Garden of Peace" occupy the southeast corner.

Access is through a gate on Polk Street; an iron fence surrounds the grounds. The cemetery is open daily except major holidays and severe weather events. The St. James' Cemetery Board at St. James' Episcopal Church governs it, and a map revised in 2013 helps locate graves.

JonBenét Ramsey, the six-year-old murder victim whose 1996 death drew national attention, is buried here beside her half-sister Elizabeth Pasch Ramsey, who died in a 1992 car accident aged 22; their mother Patsy Ramsey was interred alongside them in 2006. It is also rumoured, without evidence ever found, that slaves were buried in unmarked graves in the southwest corner.
