The Jefferson County Cemetery is a cemetery used by Jefferson County located at the end of Ball Park Road southeast of Morris. Used mainly for pauper's burials, the cemetery contains approximately 7,500 graves as of 2007.

Those buried at county expense are placed in pressboard coffins and prayed over by the Jefferson County Chaplain. Often a representative of the Morris Beautification Board will provide a carnation for each coffin. The graves are marked by a cement-filled coffee can stamped with an identification number.
