It is the largest cemetery in Japan and is the final resting place for over 200,000 notable individuals including many monks and samurai. Many tombstones are carved with Buddhist symbols and prayers.

As the only picture shown with an oriental theme complete with Japanese script I hope this was fairly easy to pick out.

Bayeux War Cemetery is located in the town of Bayeux in Normandy, France. Only a few kilometres from the D-Day landing beaches, it is a Commonwealth military cemetery with the graves of over 4000 soldiers. The majority are from the United Kingdom but also include soldiers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and other Commonwealth countries.

Many of those who are buried there lost their lives during the D-Day landings on 6 June 1944 and the subsequent battles the Allies fought to liberate France from German occupation. The Americans have their own cemetery at nearby Colleville-sur-Mer.

The headstones are a uniform white with name, rank and regiment of the fallen soldiers, symbolising that in death they are all equal. Apart from the graves there are many memorials including the large Bayeux Memorial in the middle which commemorates more than 1800 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the area with no graves.

I was hoping the uniformity of the graves would lead you to realising it was a war cemetery and, if you look in the background, you will see Bayeux Cathedral.

Known as 'Cimitirul Vesel' in Romanian the Merry Cemetery is located in the village of Sapanta in Maramures County. It has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to the unique graves that are painted in bright colours and adorned with intricate folk art.

It is called the Merry Cemetery because of its vibrant, cheerful and humorous way of commemorating their dead. The tradition was began in the 1930s by Stan Ioan Patras, a local artist.

Located in the Woodside neighbourhood it has been in use since the middle of the 19th century. It covers a large parcel of ground and is divided into different sections based on different Catholic parishes.

I presumed the New York City skyline in the background would give you the answer to this one.

Cementerio San Antonio Tecomitl is a cemetery in Mexico City. With no disrespect intended there is nothing particularly special about the cemetery itself - the point was that it is a Mexican cemetery on 'Dia de los Muertos' or the Day of the Dead.

This is a Mexican holiday that celebrates and honours deceased loved ones. It is a vibrant and festive occasion that usually takes place from 31 October to 2 November which coincides with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Eve, All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.

It is a rich cultural tradition that blends indigenous beliefs with Catholicism. It is not a mournful event but rather a celebration of the continuity of life and the importance of remembering and honouring those who have passed away.

Also known as the Qarafa, the City of the Dead is a vast cemetery complex known as the Cairo Necropolis. It is located in the eastern part of the city. Stretching over several kilometres and including tombs, graves and mausoleums it is one of the world's largest cemeteries.

The original tombs date back to the Islamic period (641 - 1517 AC) and have intricate Islamic designs and architecture. Some of these belong to prominent historical figures including scholars, rulers and religious leaders.

What many think makes the City of the Dead the most interesting is that it is also a residential area. Over the years people have moved into the cemetery and built homes between the tombs. They often have a connection to the tombs they have chosen to live near but it has created a unique city of the living and the dead.

Apart from the very definite Egyptian look if you pay attention to the far background you can see the mosques of Ibn Tulun and Citadel of Saladin in Cairo.

Established in 1899 as Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery, the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is located in the middle of Hollywood and is one of the oldest in Los Angeles.

The cemetery is known for hosting film screenings, concerts and other events amidst its lush landscape and ornate mausoleums.

The Canakkale War Cemeteries themselves are a historical site located on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey. They commemorate all the soldiers who lost their lives during the Gallipoli campaign of WWI.

The campaign took place between 1915 and 1916 with the Allied forces of Australia, New Zealand, Britain and France trying to capture Istanbul by securing the Dardanelles Strait. The campaign resulted in massive casualties on both sides and there are many cemeteries and monuments throughout the Peninsular.

This is the Turkish Cemetery dedicated to the 57th Regiment, an Anatolian regiment under the command of Mustapha Kemal that managed to stop the ANZAC advance. Kemal would go on to become Attaturk, the founding father and first president of the Republic of Turkey.

I did remove the Turkish cemetery name from the entrance but left the Turkish Flag for those with keen eyes.

Many famous people are buried within the cemetery but the most visited grave belongs to that of Eva Peron, the first lady of Argentina of whom the musical Evita was based. She is buried in the Duarte family tomb.

No big hints on this one beyond the graves names all being in Spanish.

This famous Jewish cemetery is located on the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem. It overlooks the Old City of Jerusalem and the Kidron Valley. It has been a Jewish burial site for over 3000 years and has up to 150,000 tombs.

The exact number is hard to pinpoint as it includes mausoleums, tombs, simple grave markers and unmarked areas. There are many prominent Jewish scholars, leaders and rabbis among the residents.

The Mount of Olives is mentioned in Jewish texts as the place where the resurrection of the dead will begin when the Messiah comes so many Jews aspire to be buried there.

The photo shows the Church of the Dome in the valley below.

The Pere Lachaise is a famous cemetery located in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. It was established in 1804 and named after Pere Francois de la Chaise, King Louis XIV's confessor, whose house used to stand on the site.

It is the final resting place for many famous people from literature, music, arts, politics, and science. The most visited tombs belong to Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Edith Piaf, Marcel Proust, and Frederic Chopin.

No great clues here unless you know it is famed for its tree lined pathways and the tombs names are in French.

Sao Joao Batista Cemetery is located in the Botafogo neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro. It was established in 1850 and features elaborate mausoleums, sculptures and tombstones that reflect various architectural styles.

It is the burial site of many notable figures including Carmen Miranda, a legendary Brazilian singer and actress; Tom Jobim, a renowned composer and former Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek.

The cemetery is located on a hillside, providing panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro and Sugarloaf Mountain. The scenic location adds to the overall ambiance of the cemetery.

I picked this one over other choices because of the background showing Corcovado Mountain and, if you look closely, Christ the Redeemer Statue on top.

Highgate is a famous cemetery located in North London. It was built in 1839 along with another 6 private cemeteries because of the rapid population growth in London.

It has many famous people buried within it but its most famous is that of Karl Marx. The huge monument is visited by thousands of people a year.

Lone Pine is another of the war cemeteries on Gallipoli mentioned earlier in the quiz. This is the Australian one but it does contain graves and memorials dedicated to other Commonwealth soldiers. As mentioned earlier: being war graves they are all uniform stones with names, ranks and regiments only.

Lone Pine was a plateau 120 metres above sea level that was captured on the 25 April 1915 by the ANZAC troops when they landed and then they it lost that evening. The Turkish forces held the ridge for just over 3 months until the Battle of Lone Pine that took place between the 6th - 10th of August 1915 when the ANZACS regained control and held it until the evacuation that December.

I took the picture from about the midway point so the cemetery is about twice that length. I only note this because it is built to the exact length that the Battles of Lone Pine took place. Thousands and thousands killed from both sides over 8 months and neither side gained any more land than what is shown.

Beyond the fact that it is a military cemetery I thought the 'lone' pine tree might make it obvious.
