Ovoo, oboo, or obo (Mongolian: овоо, Traditional Mongol: ᠣᠪᠤᠭᠠ,[1] "heap"; Chinese: 敖包 áobāo, lit. "magnificent bundle [i.e. shrine]") are sacred stone heaps used as altars or shrines in Mongolian folk religious practice and in the religion of other Mongolic peoples. They are usually made from rocks with wood.Ovoos are often found at the top of mountains and in high places, like mountain passes. In modern times, some of them have developed into large and elaborate structures, becoming more like temples than simple altars. They serve mainly as sites for the worship of Heaven and lesser gods led by shamans and kins' elders, but also for Buddhist ceremonies.Ovoos may have influenced or given birth to the Korean seonangdang.敖包（蒙古语：ᠥᠪᠥᠭᠭᠠ，转写：oboγa[转写种类不明]，西里尔字母：овоо），是蒙古语音译，也译为脑包、鄂博，意思是石头堆，是用石头堆积的蒙古族人祭祀建筑。祭拜來自薩滿教傳統，被黃教吸收。在蒙古草原上，很多地方没有山丘、河流、树林之类的地标，到处都是草原，因此敖包常被用作路标或界標[1]。著名歌曲《敖包相会》、包头附近的矿区白云鄂博等皆源于此。藏族的叫瑪尼堆，裕固族的也有。
- Père Lachaise Cemetery (French: Cimetière du Père-Lachaise [simtjɛʁ dy pɛʁ laʃɛːz]; formerly cimetière de l'Est, "Cemetery of the East") is the largest cemetery in Paris, France (44 hectares or 110 acres).[1] With more than 3.5 million visitors annually, it is the most visited necropolis in the world.The cemetery of Père Lachaise opened in 1804[3] and takes its name from the confessor to Louis XIV, Père François de la Chaise (1624–1709), who lived in the Jesuit house rebuilt during 1682 on the site of the chapel. The property, situated on the hillside from which the king watched skirmishing between the armies of the Condé and Turenne during the Fronde, was bought by the city in 1804. Established as a cemetery by Napoleon during that year, plans were laid out by Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart; the property was later extended. Napoleon, who had been proclaimed Emperor by the Senate three days earlier, had declared during the Consulate that "Every citizen has the right to be buried regardless of race or religion".After the closing of the Holy Innocents’ Cemetery on December 1, 1780 and as the city graveyards of Paris filled, several new, large cemeteries, outside the precincts of the capital, replaced them: Montmartre Cemetery in the north, Père Lachaise in the east, and Montparnasse Cemetery in the south. Near the middle of the city is Passy Cemetery.An 1804 law[10] put in place by Napoleon addressed the question of cemetery organization relating to religious beliefs. It was required that an entire cemetery be built, or at least a section of a large cemetery, should be dedicated to a specific religion. Another law in 1881 repealed the former law but by that time at Père Lachaise, a Jewish enclosure and a Muslim enclosure already existed.The law of separation of church and state on 9 December 1905 had no impact on Père Lachaise because religious emblems were still allowed on private funeral monuments. The cemetery cross was removed in June 1883.

Mortsafes were contraptions designed to protect graves from disturbance. Resurrectionists had supplied the schools of anatomy in Scotland since the early 18th century. This was due to the necessity for medical students to learn anatomy by attending dissections of human subjects, which was frustrated by the very limited allowance of dead bodies - for example the corpses of executed criminals - granted by the government, which controlled the supply.
藏骨堂，亦叫人骨教堂 An ossuary is a chest, box, building, well, or site made to serve as the final resting place of human skeletal remains. They are frequently used where burial space is scarce. A body is first buried in a temporary grave, then after some years the skeletal remains are removed and placed in an ossuary. The greatly reduced space taken up by an ossuary means that it is possible to store the remains of many more people in a single tomb than if the original coffins were left as is.In Persia, the Zoroastrians used a deep well for this function from the earliest times (c. 3,000 years ago) and called it astudan (literally, "the place for the bones"). There are many rituals and regulations in the Zoroastrian faith concerning the astudans.Many examples of ossuaries are found within Europe, including the Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini in Rome, Italy; the Martyrs of Otranto in south Italy; the Fontanelle cemetery and Purgatorio ad Arco in Naples, Italy; the San Bernardino alle Ossa in Milan, Italy; the Brno Ossuary and the Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic; the Czermna Skull Chapel in Poland; and the Capela dos Ossos ("Chapel of Bones") in Évora, Portugal. The village of Wamba in the province of Valladolid, Spain, has an impressive ossuary of over a thousand skulls inside the local church, dating from between the 12th and 18th centuries. A more recent example is the Douaumont ossuary in France, which contains the remains of more than 130,000 French and German soldiers that fell at the Battle of Verdun during World War I. The Catacombs of Paris represents another famous ossuary.The catacombs beneath the Monastery of San Francisco in Lima, Peru, also contains an ossuary.The use of ossuaries is a longstanding tradition in the Orthodox Church. During the time of the Second Temple, Jewish burial customs included primary burials in burial caves, followed by secondary burials in ossuaries placed in smaller niches of the burial caves.
- largest ossuary - the skeletal remains of six million people lie, neatly arranged, in catacombs (also known as ossuaries or charnel houses) beneath the streets of Paris, France. The city is riddled with an estimated 300 km (186 miles) of tunnels and pathways, of which 11,000 square meters (nearly three acres) are packed tightly with the bones of those re-interred from the city's overflowing cemeteries in the late 1700s.[3] See Catacombs of Paris. [added by me - looks like the tower in cambodia where millions were killed by khmer]
石棺 A sarcophagus (plural sarcophagi) is a box-like funeral receptacle for a corpse, most commonly carved in stone, and usually displayed above ground, though it may also be buried. The word "sarcophagus" comes from the Greek σάρξ sarx meaning "flesh", and φαγεῖν phagein meaning "to eat"; hence sarcophagus means "flesh-eating", from the phrase lithos sarkophagos (λίθος σαρκοφάγος), "flesh-eating stone". The word also came to refer to a particular kind of limestone that was thought to rapidly facilitate the decomposition of the flesh of corpses contained within it due to the chemical properties of the limestone itself.
錦繡山太陽宮（韓語：금수산태양궁전／錦繡山太陽宮殿 Geumsusan Taeyang Gungjeon），原名錦繡山紀念宮（금수산기념궁전／錦繡山記念宮殿 Geumsusang Inyeom Gungjeon）[1][2]，即朝鮮已故最高領導人金日成與金正日的陵墓，是位於朝鮮首都平壤東北郊大城區域的巨大陵墓。宮殿最早被稱為錦繡山議事堂（금수산의사당／錦繡山議事堂 Geumsusan Uisadang），是已故朝鮮民主主義人民共和國建國領導人、共和國永遠的主席金日成生前辦公地，1976年建成。金日成於1994年去世後，其長子金正日宣佈把父親的遺體永久保存在議事堂水晶棺中，同時議事堂更名為錦繡山紀念宮。接着金正日於2011年去世，其三子金正恩也比照此儀式。

death chair
- The Poor Clares were founded by Clare of Assisi in the year 1212. By 1216, Francis was able to offer Clare and her companions a monastery adjoining the chapel of San Damiano, where she became abbess.Whenever a nun died, her corpse would be taken to the cemetery, the ‘Cimitero delle Monache Clarisse’, an underground, windowless crypt carved out of limestone and placed in a sitting position on a ‘death chair’.[14] The corpses were left on these stone chairs to decompose. Each death chair had a hole on its seat, under which was placed a special vessel.[15] These were meant to collect the fluids that were produced during the decomposition process.After a year or two, the corpses transformed into piles of bones. The living Clares or a surviving family member of the deceased nun collected and cleaned the bones, whose whiteness was considered a symbol of purity.[16] The bones were eventually stored in an ossuary. The ossuary became their final resting place, representing the soul out of purgatory at peace and releasing mourners from their duty to mourn.[17] In fact, the ossuary frequently was placed on display in a public part of the church or at least was visible through a grate, serving as a reminder of souls in heaven.This practice was not unique to Aragonese Castle, other monks and nuns from as far north as Milan to Sicily in the south practiced the same ritual in the area which is known as a putridarium.[19] The practice was part of broader, older tradition, known as “double death” or “double burial” where the moment of death was merely a rest during during a longer journey to salvation.https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-most-disturbing-story-in-history

- The Congressional Cemetery or Washington Parish Burial Ground is a historic and active cemetery located at 1801 E Street, SE, in Washington, D.C., on the west bank of the Anacostia River. It is the only American "cemetery of national memory" founded before the Civil War. Over 65,000 individuals are buried or memorialized at the cemetery, including many who helped form the nation and the city of Washington in the early 19th century. Though the cemetery is privately owned, the U.S. government owns 806 burial plots administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Congress, located about a mile and a half (2.4 km) to the northwest, has greatly influenced the history of the cemetery. The cemetery still sells plots, and is an active burial ground. From the Washington Metro, the cemetery lies three blocks east of the Potomac Avenue station and two blocks south of the Stadium-Armory station. Many members of the U.S. Congress who died while Congress was in session are interred at Congressional Cemetery. Other burials include early landowners and speculators, the builders and architects of early Washington, Native American diplomats, Washington city mayors, and American Civil War veterans. Nineteenth-century Washington, D.C., families unaffiliated with the federal government also have graves and tombs at the cemetery. In all, there are one Vice President, one Supreme Court justice, six Cabinet members, 19 Senators and 71 Representatives (including a former Speaker of the House) buried there, as well as veterans of every American war, and the first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover.
- Arlington National Cemetery is a United States military cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., in whose 624 acres (253 ha) the dead of the nation's conflicts have been buried, beginning with the Civil War, as well as reinterred dead from earlier wars. The United States Department of the Army, a component of the United States Department of Defense (DOD), controls the cemetery.
- Long Island National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located in Suffolk County, New York. It comprises the northern section of an area known as "Pinelawn," which consists of a grouping of cemeteries and memorial parks situated along Wellwood Avenue (County Road 3) - these include Pinelawn Memorial Park, St. Charles / Resurrection, Beth Moses, New Montefiore and Mt. Ararat Cemeteries. Its mailing address is Farmingdale (postal code 11735). It borders East Farmingdale along its western edge and is located within the CDPS of Wyandanch (to the east), in the Town of Babylon, and Melville (to the north) in the Town of Huntington. Administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, it encompasses 364.7 acres (147.6 ha), and as of 2014, had more than 346,000 interments. Long Island National Cemetery was established in 1936 with a purchase of 175 acres (71 ha) of land from Pinelawn Cemetery to answer a need after World War I of a large number of veterans, and not enough burial space in the urban cemeteries in New York City. At the time the only National Cemetery in the area was Cypress Hills National Cemetery in Brooklyn, and it had very limited area available. The land was developed and burials began in March 1937. Within its first 8 years, it saw over 10,000 interments from World War II.
- Cypress Hills Cemetery was the first non-sectarian/non-denominational cemetery corporation organized in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens in New York City. The Cemetery is run as a non-for-profit organization and is located at 833 Jamaica Avenue in Brooklyn. The Cemetery occupies both boroughs, and its 225 acres are divided by the Jackie Robinson Parkway. Established in 1848 east of the Ridgewood Reservoir, Cypress Hills Cemetery was opened for burials in 1851 and was designed to emulate a "rural cemetery" setting. A section of the cemetery was designated as the Cypress Hills National Cemetery in 1862 as a military burial ground for soldiers of the American Civil War. In 1941 it received the bodies of 235 Confederate prisoners who died on Hart Island.In the late 20th century, there was a period of mismanagement and controversy, and finally declared bankruptcy. In 2003, there were charges by Ravi Batra, one of its former court-appointed guardians, who accused another of trying to seize control by quietly installing one of his own employees as president of the cemetery's re-formed board of directors in a bid to gain control of the 200-acre (0.81 km2) cemetery. Today, the cemetery serves as the final resting place for over 400,000 individuals. The history of Cypress Hills Cemetery is featured in the book Images of America: Cypress Hills Cemetery by Stephen C. Duer and Allen B. Smith.
- Forest Lawn Memorial Park is a privately owned cemetery in Glendale, California, USA. It is the original location of Forest Lawn, a chain of six cemeteries and four additional mortuaries in Southern California. Forest Lawn Memorial Park was founded in 1906 as a not-for-profit cemetery by a group of businessmen from San Francisco. Dr. Hubert Eaton and C. B. Sims entered into a sales contract with the cemetery in 1912. Eaton took over the management of the cemetery in 1917. Although Eaton did not start Forest Lawn Cemetery, he is credited as being the "Founder" of Forest Lawn Memorial-Park for his innovations of establishing the "memorial park plan" (eliminating upright grave markers and bringing in works by established artists) and being the first to open a funeral home on dedicated cemetery grounds. Eaton was a firm believer in a joyous life after death. He was convinced that most cemeteries were "unsightly, depressing stoneyards" and pledged to create one that would reflect his optimistic, Christian beliefs, "as unlike other cemeteries as sunshine is unlike darkness." He envisioned Forest Lawn to be "a great park devoid of misshapen monuments and other signs of earthly death, but filled with towering trees, sweeping lawns, splashing fountains, beautiful statuary, and ... memorial architecture."[citation needed] A number of plaques which state Eaton's intentions are signed "The Builder." Frederick Llewellyn, Eaton's nephew, became CEO of Forest Lawn in 1966. In 1987 he was succeeded by his son, John Llewellyn, who is the current Chairman of Forest Lawn. Most of its burial sections have evocative names, including Eventide, Babyland (for infants, shaped like a heart), Graceland, Inspiration Slope, Slumberland (for children and adolescents), Sweet Memories, Whispering Pines, Vesperland, Borderland (on the edge of the cemetery), and Dawn of Tomorrow. The original Forest Lawn participated in racial segregation and "for decades refused entrance to blacks, Jews, and Chinese".

A death mask is a likeness (typically in wax or plaster cast) of a person's face after their death, usually made by taking a cast or impression from the corpse. Death masks may be mementos of the dead, or be used for creation of portraits. It is sometimes possible to identify portraits that have been painted from death masks, because of the characteristic slight distortions of the features caused by the weight of the plaster during the making of the mold. The main purpose of the death mask from the Middle Ages until the 19th century was to serve as a model for sculptors in creating statues and busts of the deceased person. Not until the 1800s did such masks become valued for themselves.In other cultures a death mask may be a funeral mask, an image placed on the face of the deceased before burial rites, and normally buried with them. The best known of these are the masks used in ancient Egypt as part of the mummification process, such as Tutankhamun's mask, and those from Mycenaean Greece such as the Mask of Agamemnon.In some European countries, it was common for death masks to be used as part of the effigy of the deceased, displayed at state funerals; the coffin portrait was an alternative. Mourning portraits were also painted, showing the subject lying in repose. During the 18th and 19th centuries masks were also used to permanently record the features of unknown corpses for purposes of identification. This function was later replaced by post-mortem photography.

- The Frogmore Estate or Gardens comprise 33 acres (130,000 m2) of private gardens within the grounds of the Home Park, adjoining Windsor Castle, in the English county of Berkshire.

It is also the site of three burial places of the British Royal Family: the Royal Mausoleum containing the tombs of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert; the Duchess of Kent's Mausoleum, burial place of Queen Victoria's mother; and the Royal Burial Ground. The gardens are Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Frogmore House was built in the 1680s and purchased by George III as a country retreat for Queen Charlotte in 1792. In 1900 Earl Mountbatten of Burma was born there.

- Mortlake Cemetery is a cemetery in Kew in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (historically in North Sheen, Surrey). It is also known as Hammersmith New Cemetery as it provided burials for the then Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith when Margravine Cemetery was full.[2] The cemetery opened in 1926 and is still in use.[3] It is now managed by Hammersmith and Fulham Council. The cemetery contains the Commonwealth war graves of 109 service personnel of World War II. Many are buried in private graves but others are in a special services plot in the south-eastern corner of the cemetery. At the latter, the casualties are mainly buried in collective graves holding up to five bodies each due to the limited burial space. The names of those buried in the plot are listed on the CWGC-erected memorial that also lists service personnel of the same war who were cremated at Mortlake Crematorium.Mortlake Crematorium was built next to the cemetery in 1939.[2] Seventy-seven Commonwealth servicemen of World War II who were cremated at the crematorium are listed on a screen wall memorial erected by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in the cemetery.

- Père Lachaise Cemetery (French: Cimetière du Père-Lachaise, [simtjɛːʁ dy pɛːʁ laʃɛːz]; formerly, cimetière de l'Est, "Cemetery of the East") is the largest cemetery in the city of Paris (44 hectares or 110 acres), although there are larger cemeteries in the city's suburbs. Père Lachaise is in the 20th arrondissement and is notable for being the first garden cemetery, as well as the first municipal cemetery. It is also the site of three World War I memorials.The cemetery takes its name from the confessor to Louis XIV, Père François de la Chaise (1624–1709), who lived in the Jesuit house rebuilt during 1682 on the site of the chapel. The property, situated on the hillside from which the king watched skirmishing between the armies of the Condé and Turenne during the Fronde, was bought by the city during 1804. Established by Napoleon during this year, the cemetery was laid out by Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart and later extended.[citation needed] As the city graveyards of Paris filled, several new, large cemeteries, outside the precincts of the capital, replaced them: Montmartre Cemetery in the north, Père Lachaise in the east, and Montparnasse Cemetery in the south. Near the middle of the city is Passy Cemetery. Père Lachaise Cemetery was opened on 21 May 1804. The first person buried there was a five-year-old girl named Adélaïde Paillard de Villeneuve, the daughter of a door bell-boy of the Faubourg St. Antoine. Her grave no longer exists as the plot was a temporary concession. Napoleon, who had been proclaimed Emperor by the Senate three days earlier, had declared during the Consulate that "Every citizen has the right to be buried regardless of race or religion". At the time of its opening, the cemetery was considered to be situated too far from the city and attracted few funerals. Moreover, many Roman Catholics refused to have their graves in a place that had not been blessed by the Church. During 1804, the Père Lachaise contained only 13 graves. Consequently, the administrators devised a marketing strategy and during 1804, with great fanfare, organized the transfer of the remains of Jean de La Fontaine and Molière. The next year there were 44 burials, with 49 during 1806, 62 during 1807 and 833 during 1812. Then, in another great spectacle of 1817, the purported[5] remains of Pierre Abélard and Héloïse d'Argenteuil were also transferred to the cemetery with their monument's canopy made from fragments of the abbey of Nogent-sur-Seine (by tradition, lovers or lovelorn singles leave letters at the crypt in tribute to the couple or in hope of finding true love).

- The Valle de los Caídos (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbaʎe ðe los kaˈiðos], "Valley of the Fallen") is a Catholic basilica and a monumental memorial in the municipality of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, erected at Cuelgamuros Valley in the Sierra de Guadarrama, near Madrid, conceived by Spanish dictator Francisco Franco to honour and bury those who died in the Spanish Civil War.[1][2] Franco claimed[when?] that the monument was meant to be a "national act of atonement" and reconciliation.

The Burial Act 1852 section 9 required new burial grounds in a list of urban parishes of London (the Metropolis) to be approved by the Secretary of State. Sections 1 and 44 enabled the Secretary of State to close metropolitan London churchyards to new interments and make regulations regarding proper burial. The expenses for establishing burial boards to accommodate these changes were ordered to come from the poor rates under section 19. Sections 26 and 28 of that act enabled parish Burial Boards (with vestry approval) to purchase land anywhere and to appropriate land belonging to the relevant parish, poor board or any of its charitable trusts.[3] In 1981 the architectural historian Hugh Meller dubbed the group of cemeteries "The Magnificent Seven" after the 1960 western film of the same name.

- The Golders Green Jewish Cemetery, usually known as Hoop Lane Jewish Cemetery, is a Jewish cemetery in Golders Green, London NW11. It is maintained by a joint burial committee representing members of the West London Synagogue and the S&P Sephardi Community (the Spanish and Portuguese Jews Congregation). The cemetery, which was opened in 1895, is divided into two parts. On the West Side, used by West London Synagogue, the graves are marked with upright stones. The East Side, used by the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' Congregation,[2] is organised in the form of traditional Sephardi cemetery (one of the few left in London); the gravestones are laid horizontally, as traditionally the burial ground was too unstable for an upright stone.

- The Valle de los Caídos (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbaʎe ðe los kaˈiðos], "Valley of the Fallen") is a Catholic basilica and a monumental memorial in the municipality of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, erected at Cuelgamuros Valley in the Sierra de Guadarrama, near Madrid, conceived by Spanish dictator Francisco Franco to honour and bury those who died in the Spanish Civil War.[1][2] Franco claimed[when?] that the monument was meant to be a "national act of atonement" and reconciliation. The Valley of the Fallen, as a surviving monument of Franco's rule, and its Catholic basilica remain controversial, in part since 10% of the construction workforce consisted of convicts, some of whom were Spanish Republican political prisoners.

- 青山霊園（あおやまれいえん）は、東京都港区南青山二丁目にある東京都立の霊園である。1872年（明治5年）、美濃郡上藩（現在の岐阜県郡上市）の藩主・青山家の下屋敷跡に開設された。当初は神葬祭墓地であった。1874年（明治7年）9月1日、市民のための公共墓地となった。1889年（明治22年）、東京府から東京市に移管された。1926年（大正15年）、斎場の建物のすべてが東京市に寄附され、日本で初めての公営墓地となった。現在は東京都の所管である。面積は約26万平方メートルで、会津藩出身の桐生氏が開いた現在の附属立山墓地が興りとされ、隣接してのちの青山霊園への造成へとつながっていった。霊園は、桜並木が名所であり、明治維新の功労者や文学者・科学者・芸術家・政治家等の著名人墓所が数多くある。維新の三傑である大久保利通、細井和喜蔵の『女工哀史』の印税で建てられた「解放運動無名戦士墓」も存在、忠犬ハチ公の墓もある[1]。附属立山墓地には、永田鉄山、木村兵太郎、相楽総三なども眠っている。
- 南洲神社（なんしゅうじんじゃ）は、鹿児島県鹿児島市上竜尾町に鎮座する神社である。旧社格は無格社。西南戦争での西郷軍方の戦死者が埋葬される南洲墓地の北隣にある。西郷隆盛命を祭る。明治10年（1877年）9月24日、官軍の総攻撃によって西郷隆盛以下薩軍が全滅し西南戦争が終結すると、鹿児島県令岩村通俊は官軍の許可を得て西郷隆盛らの遺体を鹿児島市内5か所に仮埋葬した。明治12年（1879年）、有志によってそれらの墓を現在地にまとめて改葬し、その後、九州各地に散在していた西郷軍の遺骨も集めて計2023名が葬られる「南洲墓地」となった。
- 維新功臣大久保利通，今年的5月14日剛好逝世140週年，長期推動西南戰爭和解、並且在南洲墓地興建慰靈塔，祭拜當時政府軍與薩軍參戰雙方戰死者的團體「西南之役官軍薩軍超越仇恨之會」，打算在5月6日舉辦紀念大久保利通的法會。沒想到此舉，引起維護上野西鄉銅像，與研究西鄉隆盛的NGO團體「敬天愛人論壇21」反彈，要求停辦這項法會。由於西鄉隆盛就是葬在南洲墓地，因此該團體認為，既然大久保利通並沒有葬在南洲墓地，加上當年西南戰爭的主戰雙方，就是大久保利通與西鄉隆盛，舉辦這樣的法會，非常不妥。https://global.udn.com/global_vision/story/8664/3145254

- 華人墓地都轉葬到華商修建的中華義莊了，中華義莊的地藏廟是橫濱市的文化財產，常有國內外的觀光客前往參觀。人們對於華人墓地遷出的原因有過不少猜測，有人說是因為土地面積所限，也有人說與宗教信仰有關。對此，中華義莊的負責人認為：當時東西方人都流行土葬，西方人的遺骨葬下後不再取出，但華人總希望死後也能回歸故鄉，因此棺木在幾年之後被送回華人區域。隨着時間的重疊，中華義莊的華人墓地越來越多，華人身故後安葬在中華義莊，能找到回歸故鄉的感覺。http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20190821/PDF/b6_screen.pdf

- Bukit Brown Cemetery, also known to the local community as Kopi Sua or Coffee Hill, was a public Chinese cemetery that had been established in the early 20th Century. It was believed to be the biggest Chinese graveyard outside China, hosting about 100,000 graves. It is located between Lornie Road and Mount Pleasant Road, and off Sime Road and Kheam Hock Road, and is still in existence today, despite being abandoned. The cemetery was named after its first owner, George Henry Brown. Brown had been a ship owner who had arrived in Singapore from Calcutta in the 1840s, and had bought the area and named it Mount Pleasant. The land was then later bought by Ong Kew Ho and the Hokkien Huay Kuan, who gave it to the Ngee Ann Kongsi. The 213-acre (0.86 km2) site at Bukit Brown had been acquired and passed into municipal hands by the municipal authorities in 1919 after pressure had been put on it to provide a municipal cemetery for the Chinese communities in Singapore.[13] The cemetery was opened on 1 January 1922 and was managed as a public burial ground by a committee led by committee leaders Tan Kheam Hock and See Tiong Wah–who was at that time comprador of the Hong Kong Bank. By 1929, Bukit Brown Cemetery accounted for about 40 per cent of all officially registered Chinese burials within municipal limits. The cemetery was eventually closed. In the 1970s, the cemetery faced the threat of being cleared for redevelopment, but it was eventually granted reprieve. Now, the cemetery is home to many bird species and wild life, and has as such become popular again–this time, with nature lovers. It is the only built area that is near the Bukit Brown MRT Station (part of the Circle MRT Line). Since there are no other developments in the vicinity, the station will remain non-operational till a later date. It was originally announced by Minister Tan Chuan-Jin in February 2012 that 5000, out of more than 100000 graves, would make way for a new 4-lane road that would cut through the cemetery. This number was reduced to 3746, from the original 5000, on 19 March 2012. It was also revealed that the rest of the cemetery would make way for a new public housing town in about 40 years time. The National Archives of Singapore digitised and released online the burial registers of the cemetery between April 1922 and December 1972, as well as a location map of the cemetery in part to help descendants check if their ancestor's graves were affected by the development. On 30 September 2015, it was reported that the cast iron gates of the cemetery were removed from their posts and would be reinstalled (after refurbishment) at the mouth of a new access road near its original location. By 2030, they would change Bukit Brown into housing, repair works are now in progress.

- http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/international/art/20170405/19980499按中共傳統，黨政要員死後以能葬北京八寶山革命公墓為榮，既是身份象徵，更可蔭及後人。但自毛澤東死後，特別是中共改革開放後，觀念有變，一些因犯錯誤、或因黨內受排擠的政要，已不願自己死後與「政敵」同園，寧願遠離京城，葬於他鄉，以求靈魂寧靜。毛澤東欽點的接班人華國鋒，主政沒幾年就被東山再起的鄧小平罷黜廢掉，還被黨內清算批判，華國鋒抑鬱而終，2008年去世後，按其生前政治規格（黨主席），本可享安葬於八寶山革命公墓，但按華遺囑，其家人最終將其葬於生前曾戰鬥過的山西交城。當地政府為華建陵園紀念。同樣還有因黨內鬥爭被貶下的中共前總書記胡耀邦。據《炎黃春秋》透露，胡耀邦在和夫人李昭這商討自己後事時，曾言「我死了，不想去八寶山」，原因是他不願死後要「和某些人為伍」。胡耀邦於1989年4月15日去世，其骨灰最終葬於胡曾工作過的江西鄱陽湖畔的共青城。即便一些生前「與世無爭」的政要，對自己死後安身之所也另有圖謀。前政治局常委、被視為「上海幫」的黃菊2007年死後，骨灰一直放八寶山，惟2015年因其遺孀要求，罕有遷到上海青浦福壽園公墓安放，據稱其夫人認為黃「對上海有感情」，讓他「回歸故土」；實則在上海黃可享有一個陵園，絕非八寶山一格福地可比。

- The Old Protestant Cemetery (基督教墳場; Portuguese: Cemitério Protestante) is a cemetery in Santo António, Macau, China. It was established by the British East India Company in 1821 in Portuguese Macau in response to a lack of burial sites for Protestants in the Roman Catholic Portuguese colony. It is the last resting place of the artist George Chinnery, missionaries Robert Morrison and Samuel Dyer (his wife Maria is buried at the Old Protestant Cemetery in Penang), Royal Navy captain Henry John Spencer-Churchill (son of the 5th Duke of Marlborough and great-great-grand-uncle of Winston Churchill) and US Naval Lieutenant Joseph Harod Adams (grandson of the second president of the United States, John Adams, and nephew of the sixth, John Quincy Adams). Humphrey Fleming Senhouse, a captain in the Royal Navy, is also buried here.
- 「沙嶺公墓」位於文錦渡，上世紀50年代開始後一直是全港唯一收容無人認領遺體的政府墳場，由食環署管理。2010年至2019年，無人認領遺體由最多的724具下降至去年的256具，數量大跌的主要原因，是因為科技進步，政府更容易確定死者身份，聯絡到死者家人的機會大增。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2020/04/20/a10-0420.pdf
- Macau was considered by the Portuguese to be sacred Roman Catholic ground and the authorities barred the burial of Protestants within its city walls, whilst on the other side of the barrier gate the Chinese were equally as intolerant of the burial of foreigners in its soil. This left the Protestant community of British, American and Northern European traders with the only option of a secret night-time burial in the land between the city walls and the barrier gate, and the risk of confrontation with Chinese should they be discovered, or worse, desecration of the grave once they had gone. The matter was finally resolved in 1821 after the death of Robert Morrison's wife, Mary, when the local committee of the East India Company voted to purchase a plot of land and resolve its legal status with the Portuguese such that the burial of Protestants would be permitted there. Later, the East India Company allowed burial of all foreigners, and several graves were moved from other locations outside the city walls into the cemetery, explaining why some graves are dated before its founding in 1821. Nationals of Britain, the United States of America, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Germany are buried there. The cemetery was closed in 1858, after which the cemetery began to be referred to as the "Old" Protestant Cemetery.Adjoining the cemetery is the Morrison Chapel, named in honour of Robert Morrison.

- The Fronde Memorial, a granite obelisk, was erected in May 1908 in memory of the five sailors of the French Arquebuse-class destroyer Fronde who disappeared in the sinking of their boat near the Torpedo Depot, Kowloon, during the 1906 Hong Kong typhoon. Initially erected at the corner of Gascoigne Road and Jordan Road, the monument was relocated to Hong Kong Cemetery in Happy Valley during the 1960s. The Fronde was later salvaged, repaired in the Hung Hom shipyard, and left Hong Kong in March 1907. It was active during World War I and was decommissioned in 1919. http://francehongkong.blogspot.hk/2009/01/lpope-de-la-fronde.html, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcsNE2LyR4Y
- 本港居民的一小部分也可能是住在原居民鄉村之內，但大部分本港居民是住在城市，所以，本港政府也為城市內的居民設置了永遠墳場；但原居民的鄉村卻每條村都有各村的墓地的，所以，原居民每年在清明及重陽，與本港居民相比之下，比較上可能對「掃墓」較為重視的。因為原居民在清明及重陽均須到各村墳場拜祭各自的祖先之外，在重陽亦會組織同太公的鄉村居民一同前往祖墳拜祭太公太婆的。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2020/05/19/a26-0519.pdf

This is because Eurasians were not readily accepted by the British.'Their upbringing was very Chinese and often they could not establish themselves in the British community,' said Mr Ko.
- 昭遠墳場是何東家族不少後人的長眠之地，大部分何氏家族的後人，包括何東長孫何鴻章、賭王長房女兒何超英、賭王胞妹十姑娘何婉琪的兒子麥家興、賭王胞妹莫何婉穎等，都是葬於此地。據說，何東當年在朋友引薦下，認識堪輿學家陳朝羲，並覓得昭遠墳場此地，認為風水極佳，福澤後人，子孫繁衍，富甲一方，名成利就。墳場有一塊石碑，為昭遠山堂所立，指墳場丁方六英畝，為督憲羅制軍（即羅便臣）於一八九七年批准給予該堂安葬先人之用，外人不得侵葬此地。倘有膽敢私葬及侵佔此界內之地，一經知覺，定即稟官究治。墳場重門深鎖，有職員駐守，指除非家屬到來拜祭先人，外人不得內進。石牆又有鐵板告示，指所有關於墓地申請、殮葬及墓穴維修事宜，須向墳場之委員會申請，否則有可能違反墳場之條例及香港法例。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20200527/00176_005.html

- http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20170316/00176_092.html丁新豹話九十九年前跑馬地馬場發生一場大火，死咗六百幾人，當年東華就喺大球場後山起咗個墳場安葬死難者，呢個墳場嘅總設計師何想就係何湛嘅阿爺，其中馬場先難友紀念碑仲喺前年被列為法定古蹟。事後東華三院負責賬災，與港府合力將咖啡園設置為公墓，1922年即火災發生4年之後，公墓落成，建有「馬棚先難友紀念碑」，以紀念死難者；直至半世紀之後，紀念碑及公墓於2010年獲評為一級歷史建築，港府去年更列為法定古蹟。咖啡園墳場在掃桿埔樂活道，為香港開埠初期的華人公眾墳場，於1891年開辦；1918年跑馬地馬場大火罹難者悉數安葬在咖啡園墳場戊午馬棚遇難中西士女公墓；1952年興建香港大球場搬遷部分墓碑，1961年不再接受安葬申請。就在1916年，一位從巴西回國的華僑，帶很多巴西咖啡種子回來，由於為當時咖啡主要銷售地，因此便來港找尋種咖啡的地方，他看中掃桿埔旁邊的一座山，認為土質氣候適合種植咖啡。當咖啡樹苗移植到山上時，咖啡樹生長得不好，不少樹苗移植後就枯死了，令他所有的投資完全沒有任何收成，最終遂放棄咖啡園。經東華全力爭取，咖啡園公墓落成，名為「戊午馬棚遇難中西士女公墓」，又建立「馬棚先難友紀念碑」，紀念及慰藉死者；咖啡園公墓據說就在大球場後山，但地處偏僻，很少人會前去，遂成為湮沒的歷史。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2018/11/10/b05-1110.pdf
- 佛头洲又称佛堂洲，原是清水湾半岛南面一个小岛，经填海后现已跟将军澳工业邨连成一体。同治七年（一八六八年）岛上设有清廷税厂，向走私船隻抽取釐 金。同治十三年农历八月十二日（西历九月二十二日），香港一带遭受史无前例的颱风袭击，潮水急速上涨，停泊在佛头洲的船隻被吹翻，船上官兵葬身大海。事后 佛头洲税厂在山腰设立义冢悼念死难者 今天所见的墓碑于光绪十二年（一八八六年）建立，顶端刻上“皇清敕授”，对下有两名官员名字，一位是“武信骑尉，讳荣高梁公”，另一位是“登仕佐郎，讳周桢文公”。两旁各有一行字，分别写上“壹号拖船勇丁康玉基”和“壹号拖船水勇丁八人”。http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20170407/PDF/b19_screen.pdf

- In order to compensate for the resumption of a cemetery and a small Mosque in Ho Man Tin on the Kowloon Peninsula in 1963, the Government provided land for a cemetery in Cape Collinson, Chai Wan. The Government also constructed a small Mosque in Cape Collinson, Chai Wan which opened on August 4, 1963 and was primarily used for the purpose of offering Janazah prayers. Initially regular prayers were not held especially because it was an isolated area and no Muslims lived there except for a caretaker. As more and more Muslim families settled in Chai Wan they started offering their daily prayers at Chai Wan Masjid. Holy Quran is also taught to children in the Madrassa after school hours every day. http://www.islamictrusthk.org/mosques/chai-wan-masjid/

-香港常見祖墳問題就是「養屍地」及「塌陷入水」，兩者均會造成後人出事，所以必須預防，每年春秋二祭拜祭的時候，花點時間留意先人墓地拜台與地面有否產生閃電型裂紋或間隙，拜台會不會有聚水不能排走。如有以上問題就必須維修了。閃電型裂紋多數為冷縮熱脹所形成，屬於表面性問題，一般只需要重修墓碑山面表面便可以，問題不大。拜台與地面出現間隙如笑口半月形，多數屬於下方有塌陷，原因繁多，例如永久墓地用了比較低價的非永久棺木，比較快腐爛形成下塌，下塌會愈來愈厲害及積水，後人便會開始出現問題及各種疾病，所以防災防病除了注意家居風水外也必須留意先人墓地。找專業人士處理當墓地下塌形成問題後，首先第一步當然是先找專業人士諮詢處理，在家中放置擋煞物品，把影響力減到最低，因為整個維修過程時間可能長達一年或以上。維修過程涉及「堪察」，即是由師傅及工作人員去實地觀察問題所在；「商討」，與各房後人商量，因為一個祖墳可以涉及很多後人；「起骨」，進行掘開起骨，由工作人員清潔先人骨殖；「回葬」，重新鞏固墓地工程如建立一個明塚墓室，然後擇吉日回葬平土；「立碑」，重新豎立墓碑，後人進行祭祀，圓滿大吉。
