I have removed from the list some expression which I thought were too flip, POV and unencyclopedic. These were:

  • are among the denizens here
  • rest here in peace
  • rests here in peace
  • share haunting rights here
  • are among those haunting this Woodlawn

I hope the author doesn't mind - and goes on adding the good stuff he has been - but I just don't think it works to use forms of words like that here. I do sympathize with the fact that it is boring to keep saying "is buried here" but I don't feel that the above were a good substitute. 62.30.150.99 07:38 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Cemeteries?

I think this article isn't just about cemeteries but also about other burial places like cathedrals and mausoleums. I think it would make sense to change the title of this article to "List of burial sites" or maybe to "List of famous burial sites". I think that's more fitting and also includes cathedrals and mausoleums. --Maxl 21:00, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] St. Peter's Basilica

St. Peter's Basilica is listed under the "Italy" section, but I am sure it is a well-known fact that St. Peter's Basilica and the entire Vatican are completely separate from the Italian state. - A.T.

[edit] United States Cemeteries article is gone

The American article that is linked to by this page has been deleted but nobody bothered to update this page. Gotta love bureaucracy.

It is gone because of the AFD discussion. GRBerry 03:06, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Which is the largest?

Try searching through all instances of the word "large" on this page, and you will run into a good few of which the description claims is the largest cemetary in the world.

I know that something like this is hard to confirm, but the conflicting claims look strange.

I was just going to write about that... The guinness book of records says the largest one is Ohlsdorf Cemetery, not Rose Hills Memorial Park or Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery. --Cancerbero 8 08:34, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of cemeteries

I did a search sort for cemetery articles not listed in List of cemeteries. I posted the results at User:Bebestbe/New cemeteries. Please feel free to add the cemeteries listed User:Bebestbe/New cemeteries to List of cemeteries. Thanks. -- Bebestbe (talk) 04:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
