  • Muslim graves and cactus in a local cemetery in the village of Qum (Koom), on the West Bank of Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. The grave should be aligned perpendicular to the Qibla (i.e. Mecca). The body is placed in the grave without a casket, lying on its right side, and facing the Qibla. Grave markers should be raised only up to a maximum of 30 centimetres (12 in) above the ground. Thus Grave markers are simple, because outwardly lavish displays are discouraged in Islam. Many times graves may even be unmarked, or marked only with a simple wreath. However, it is becoming more common for family members to erect grave monuments.

  • Visitors inspect the row of childrens' graves in the churchyard of St James, Cooling, Kent. Charles Dickens wrote about these graves in the opening of his famous novel Great Expectations (1860). Dickens lived nearby in Higham and referred to this row of children's tombstones now inevitably referred to as Pip's graves. Dickens pictures them as '....five little stone lozenges each about a foot and a half long which were arranged in a neat row ... and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine....' In fact the Cooling graves belong to the children of two families, aged between 1 month and about a year and a half, who died in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

  • Typical Dolomites church architecture and graveyard ironwork in Leonhard-St Leonardo, a Dolomites village in the Badia region of south Tyrol, Italy. The church of San Leonardo and its Gothic tower was built between 1776 and 1778 by Franz Singer on a previous medieval building consecrated in 1347. South Tyrol is a very religious and traditional country. The weekly walk to Mass and the celebration of religious festivals and processions are part of the culture and tradition in South Tyrol. In almost every house you will find a cross on a corner with consecrated palm branches over there. Also in the stable there are consecrated palm branches to keep away every disaster. South Tyroleans are almost all Catholics and quite conservative. San Leonardo is in the municipality of Badia populated mostly by people who speak the ancient Ladin language.

  • Overgrown tomb and gravestones are covered by ivy undergrowth in Nunhead Cemetery whose deceased occupants were important members of society from the industrial age. On the left is a memorial (‘With loving memory of Charlotte Catherine, the beloved wife ..”) including an angel figure that leans over at an angle, probably caused by tree roots or perhaps by vandalism during the 50s and 60s when this land was left open for youngsters to commit criminal damage to stonework and carvings. During the cemetery’s annual open day, there is an opportunity for the of the cemetery ‘Friends’ (society) to celebrate and educate Londoners, old and young, to help preserve and conserve this historic site.

  • Two 17th century slabs, each 2.00m in length, bearing full-length effigies of a man and woman in Pennygowan Cemetery (Caol Fhaoileann), Salen Isle of Mull, Scotland. This ruined chapel, which served the north portion of the parish of Torosay, is probably of early 13th century date. No medieval references to it have been identified, and its dedication is unknown. The records of the Synod of Argyll in the middle of the 17th century show some uncertainty as to the status of the charge; it is referred to both as a 'Chappell' and as a 'paroach'. Salen (Scottish Gaelic: An t-Sàilean) is a settlement on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. It is on the east coast of the island, on the Sound of Mull, approximately halfway between Craignure and Tobermory.

  • Taken from a tall apartment block, we see an aerial view overlooking the ex-Portuguese colony of Macau's Chinese Christian cemetery of San Miguel. The Cemiterio de São Miguel Arcanjo (Saint Miguel Catholic Cemetery) is located right in the middle of Macao island, on Estrada do Cemiterio and host the graves of the old Dutch and Portuguese colonials that helped shape Macau, now one of the world's most densely-populated city. We see a single Chinese lady walking along one of many criss-crossing diagonal pathways carrying a red bucket of water to tend these graves. She appears tiny compared to the multitude of plots, some which have crosses and others which have simple headstones. They are mostly neat and tidy but some have become overgrown with grass sprouting up. Macau's gambling revenue in 2006 weighed in at a massive £3.6bn - about £100m more than Las Vegas. The official languages are Portuguese and Chinese. The Macau Special Administrative Region is one of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China (PRC), along with Hong Kong. Administered by Portugal until 1999, it was the oldest European colony in China, dating back to the 16th century. The administrative power over Macau was transferred to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1999, 2 years after Hong Kong's own handover.

  • Elvis presley's grave is a shrine and place of Pilgrimage to the thousands of Elvis fans  who worship his music decades after his death on August 16 1977. It would be easy to expect  Graceland to be an over-rated tourist attraction. But as it is,  you could go in there Elvis indifferent, and come out a fan. The house has been left exactly as it was when Elvis died in 1977. It’s not huge, in terms of superstars mansions now and although it is done in showy taste - all shag pile walls, heart shaped beds and white  leather sofas, the design has been left exactly as Elvis created it.<br />
Graceland is located at 3734 Elvis Presley Blvd, Memphis, TN 38116

  • Grave stones in the church yard of the Church of St. Barnabas in Snowshill. The Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, UK.  Popular with both the English themselves and international visitors from all over the world, the area is well known for gentle hillsides ‘wolds’, outstanding countryside, sleepy ancient limestone villages, historic market towns and for being so ‘typically English’ where time has stood still for over 300 years. Throughout the Cotswolds stone features in buildings and stone walls act as a common thread in seamlessly blending the historic towns & villages with their surrounding landscape. One of the most 'quintessentially English' and unspoiled regions of England.
