Cemeteries and burials are the final resting place in which a dead person or animal is placed into the ground, sometimes with objects known as grave-goods. Cemeteries are large, dedicated burial grounds that are not connected to a church/ churchyard and the word is translated from Greek as “sleeping place”. Burial refers to a singular grave or a small number of graves in one location.
