Cemetery

A cemetery is a spatially defined area where the remains of deceased people are buried or are otherwise interred. The term “cemetery” implies that the land is specifically designated as a burial ground. The intact or cremated remains of deceased people may be interred. The remains may be interred in a grave, commonly referred to as burial, or may be interred in a tomb, an “above-ground grave”, a mausoleum, columbarium, or other edifice.
