Si on en croit ce fil de discussion qui a eu lieu en septembre sur la
liste principale:

"The question is what's the difference between a "amenity=grave_yard" and
a "landuse=cemetery", and is there any point in having 2 tags for what
is essentially the same thing?", - Craig Wallace

"I think the original distinction was that a graveyard is the burial
ground around a church, while a cemetery is a separate pice of land set
aside for burials, not necessarily associated with a church, or a
denomination", - David Earl

"I do see a clear distinction between a grave yard and cemetery. I care
little how they are actually tagged though.
A grave yard is the land surrounding a church that is used for
burying. The emphasis is that it is the land that belongs to the
church, on which there is a building that is called "a church". People
do not look at the grave yard and think "that's a church", although
they will understand that the land is associated with the church. The
land could also be described as church land that happens to be full of
bodies.
However cemeteries are purely for the use of burying people, people do
not go to the area to worship. They will go through a grave yard to
get to a church to worship though.", - Ciarán Mooney

Bref, la distinction semble être assez faible mais s'il fallait
choisir entre "cemetery" et "graveyard" pour un cimetière isolé, c.a.d
loin d'un lieu de culte, il faudrait d'avantage choisir cemetery si
l'on en croit les discussions ci-dessus. Mais je pense personnellement
qu'il serait plus simple d'ignorer la distinction en France et
n'utiliser que landuse=cemetery.

mes 2 cents,
