Resting Places

The most documented resting places

Some cemeteries hold so many public figures that they read as a national biography. This list ranks the burial grounds in our directory by the number of notable interments recorded in Wikidata, where each person has a Wikipedia article and a documented place of burial. The counts reflect documentation, not importance: a well-recorded municipal cemetery can outrank a royal crypt.
