A grave is a place dug into the ground for the burial of a corpse, often marked with a gravestone. In areas where grave location/inscription is considered private information[1], please map only significant and notable graves.
How to map
Place a node in the middle of the grave or map the outline of the grave.
Add cemetery=grave and name=* (adding the name of the deceased in the name=* tag is common practice)
inscription=* is a standard tag for recording text written on an object.
Add additional details in a description=* tag.
Tags to use in combination
- name=*
- wikipedia=*, wikidata=* – link to the Wikipedia article or Wikidata item about the grave itself
- subject:wikidata=* or buried:wikidata=* – link to the Wikidata item about the buried person(s) - both are in use.
Note that there can be a case where grave of someone is former or symbolic and buried:wikidata=* does not apply.
