God's acres, also known as a cemetery or graveyard, has been a place of remembrance for centuries. Synonyms for this phrase include burial ground, final resting place, necropolis, and memorial gardens. Cemetery is a widely used synonym, but the term can be broadened to include Jewish burial ground (a Jewish cemetery), Native American burial ground, or a military cemetery. Other synonyms include churchyard or chapel yard, a burial ground located on church property, and mausoleum, a building used for interring the dead. Finally, words like ossuary or catacomb describe a burial place where skeletal remains are stored in a central location, typically underground.
