famous graves

Notable burial sites

Famous graves are burial sites of notable people that attract visitors—whether for historical significance, cultural pilgrimage, or morbid curiosity.

The phrase often appears in tourism contexts: We toured the famous graves at Père Lachaise, a guide to famous graves in Hollywood.

Some become informal shrines where admirers leave tributes.
