Underground cemetery

An underground cemetery is a burial site located beneath the ground’s surface, often designed to maximize space in densely populated or historically significant areas. These cemeteries can include subterranean vaults, catacombs, or chambers where remains are interred in designated niches or coffins. They often provide a respectful, organized environment for burial while preserving surface land for other uses. Such cemeteries may feature elaborate architecture, tunnels, and artwork, serving both as memorial spaces and historical sites that reveal cultural practices related to death and remembrance.
