community burial grounds

Community burial grounds are designated areas where multiple individuals are interred collectively, often for reasons of tradition, affordability, or space efficiency. They may include common graves, ossuaries, or memorial sites managed by local authorities or religious organizations. These grounds serve as respectful, accessible places for families and community members to honor loved ones when individual burial plots are unavailable or impractical. They play a vital role in cultural and historical preservation, ensuring that the deceased are remembered within the community context.
