All the protests I've seen and heard of were outside of churches, not cemeteries, but I can't say it's exclusive to churches. And I concede that no restrictions are appropriate in anticipation of violence as I've stated it.
However, in 1997, in Schenck v. Pro-Choice Network of Western New York, the Supreme Court uphelp a fixed buffer area around clinics to ensure "safe passage" based on intimidating behavior, and the court upheld a "cease and desist" provision that allowed only two protesters to approach clinic patients, who were then required to withdraw if asked. The protesters were still allowed to protest, but effectively denied the "right" to direct their protest in intimidating manners towards individuals. In this case, the bahavior of the protesters was a determinig factor of the case.
