Those square white headstones with very near block lettering seem very distinctive to Vermont. The cemetery in Chester is almost all this style, and I found the same around Marlboro, and Brattleboro.

The old burial ground in Bennington is the only place I’ve really found intricate memento mori skulls and other figures like you’d see in older sites in NH, Mass or RI.

Only thing I distinctly remember about Strafford* Cemetery in Strafford is the hill to get up it. But yea, cross-reference the gravestones and it's Plainfield.

Edited named the wrong cemetery added link with terrain, that being the cemetery in Strafford, not the one OP posted.

Nope, it's Plainfield VT based on the gravestone inscriptions and public records.
