No, South Boston is a very Irish neighbor, and it's own section of Boston.
It is affectionately known as "Southie" There are a few cemeteries within
the bounds of South Boston. You can find them at
http://www.mass-doc.com/suffolk_county_cemetery_guide.htm
I know there are more cemeteries in South Boston than what is listed here
because I have an ancestor at a small burial ground on Emerson St. in South
Boston, named Hawes Burying Ground. It's not on the list.

I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Cornelius B. McVey, Jr., served on the USS Passaic during the
Civil War. He died on January 2, 1894 at the Soldiers' Home
in Chelsea.
Notation states:
When and where buried: South Boston, MA
Remarks: Buried by Post 2 G.A.R. Dept Mass
Question - I'm pretty sure that there are few cemeteries in South
Boston (He was from Irish descendent, but born in Boston in 1838).
He had several family members that are buried at Holyhood Cemetery
in Brookline.
