"The Old Jewish Cemetery is located in Josefov, the Jewish Quarter of Prague in the Czech Republic. It is one of the oldest cemeteries in Europe, dating from the second half of the XVth century. Since the local government of that time did not allow Jews to use another place of burial, the graves were dug very deeply, so that 12 people would be buried here, in an upright position. The result is one of the world's most “crowded” cemeteries. The number of people buried here is uncertain; however, it has been estimated that there are approximately 12,000 tombstones visible, and there could be 100,000 burials in all. "
"Père Lachaise Cemetery is the largest cemetery in the city of Paris, France and is reputed to be the world's most visited cemetery, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to the graves of those who have enhanced French life over the past 200 years.

"The final resting place of some very famous Londoners, Highgate Cemetery is a wonderfully overgrown maze of ivy-cloaked Victorian tombs and time-shattered urns. Visitors are free to wander through the East Cemetery, with its memorials to Karl Marx, George Eliot and Douglas Adams, but the most atmospheric part of the cemetery is the foliage-shrouded West Cemetery, laid out in 1839. The cemetery's grounds are full of trees, shrubbery and wild flowers, all of which have been planted and grown without human influence. The grounds are a haven for birds and small animals such as foxes."
