Call me odd, but I enjoy walking through old cemeteries, looking at the headstones. Is there a cemetery you would recommend in or around Rome that would be convenient by way of metro or bus (I won't have a car)? Thank you!

Definitely check out the Protestant Cemetery. Its most famous residents are Keats and Shelley:

That's a good one! It's also an easy trip by metro B: take it to Pyramid.

If you go online, you will see pictures of Campo Verano and the "Protestant" Cemetery and a list of notables buried at each. No such information found for the poor souls buried in the mass grave at Muro Torto.
