In cases where the grave has not been preserved or has been lost, the list includes the current location of the tombstone, plaque or memorial commemorating the burial place of the respective classical musician, if such a commemoration exists. The list is limited to composers, conductors, instrumentalists and other figures of significant fame, notability or importance in the classical music tradition who also have current Wikipedia articles. This is not an exhaustive list.
Ten months after his death the urn containing his remains was buried in a cemetery belonging to a 15th-century church in Sils-Maria, a village in the Swiss canton of Graubünden where Abbado had a vacation home.[1][2][n 1]
His death has been wrongly linked to a falling bookcase reaching for a Talmud volume. Pianist Isidor Philipp circulated this story, but contemporary evidence suggests Alkan fainted in his kitchen under a heavy coat rack, possibly causing it to fall. He was found moaning and was carried to his bedroom where he later died.[4]
He died in Murzzuschlag, Austria.[5] His wish was to be buried in his hometown, and following his death the idea of a Patio de Artistas (Artists' Courtyard) was born to honor various local artists.[6]
Initially buried at Alter Johannisfriedhof in Leipzig. His grave went unmarked for nearly 150 years. In 1894 his coffin was finally discovered and reburied in a vault within the Johanniskirche. This building was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II, and in 1950 Bach's remains were taken to their present resting place at Leipzig's Thomaskirche.[7]

His original place of burial was destroyed during the Napoleonic Wars, and in 1810 Farinelli's great-niece Maria Carlotta Pisani had his remains transferred to the cemetery of La Certosa. Farinelli's remains were disinterred from the Certosa cemetery on 12 July 2006, in order to conduct bio-medical research on them.[17]
At his own request, Bruckner was buried in the crypt directly beneath the great organ. On the pedestal of the sarcophagus is the inscription "Non confundar in aeternum" (In eternity I will not be ashamed), the closing line of his Te Deum.

The floor of the basilica was completely redone in the years 1783–1795 and the graves were removed. Riccardo Gandolfi's attempt in 1896 to locate Caccini's tomb was unsuccessful, which was documented in his article published in Rivista Musicale Italiana.[21] As of August 2024[update] there is no memorial commemorating the composer in the basilica. The facade of the church was added in 1601 by Giulio Caccini's brother, Giovanni, imitating the Renaissance-style of Brunelleschi's facade of the Ospedale degli Innocenti, which defines the eastern side of the piazza.

He died leaving his last opera Noé unfinished. It was completed by his former student Georges Bizet, but was not performed until ten years after Bizet's death.
During his last years he was completely blind, following an eye surgery performed by the medical charlatanChevalier John Taylor.[53] He never married, and his will bequeathed the bulk of his estate to his niece Johanna but also distributed much of his estate to other relations, servants, friends and charities.[54] On the wall above his grave, a monument by the sculptor Louis-François Roubiliac was unveiled in 1762.[55]
Haydn's remains were interred in the local Hundsturm cemetery until 1820, when they were moved to Eisenstadt by Prince Nikolaus. In 1932, Prince Paul Esterházy, Nikolaus's descendant, built a marble tomb for Haydn in the Bergkirche in Eisenstadt and his remains were moved there. His head took a different journey; it was stolen by phrenologists shortly after burial, and the skull was reunited with the other remains only in 1954.
She was initially buried in an unidentified grave at Cimitero Maggiore di Milano. Her remains were intended to be moved to a common grave in 1990 upon the expiration of her burial plot, but her pupils and friends funded the relocation of her remains within the same cemetery, with this arrangement set to last until 2020.[56] In 2018, thanks to the efforts of an academic researcher and several Spanish cultural organizations, her remains were exhumed and transported to Barcelona, later being reinterred in her birthplace, Valderrobres.[57][58]
His ashes were interred close to the memorial of Thomas Weelkes, his favourite Tudor period composer. In his funeral, Vaughan Williams conducted music by Holst and himself.[59] In 2009, the 75th anniversary of Holst's death, the old memorial was replaced by a new oval-shaped memorial.

He was initially buried in the cemetery of Boadilla del Monte in Madrid, where his wife was buried. In 2009 both of their remains were relocated to their hometown, Las Palmas.[66]
He was initially buried in Cimitero delle Porte Sante, Florence. In 1989 his remains and his wife Berthe's were moved, supported by his last descendant, to Brissago where he owned the summer residence Villa Myriam.[68] This decision was influenced by an unverified claim about his preference to be buried there and his casual mention of it in a 1904 speech.[69]
He died in Bayreuth during the 5th edition of the Bayreuth Festival. Various requests were made to claim his remains, the most powerful ones coming from the Duke Charles Alexander who wanted to transfer his body to Weimar, and from Princess Carolyne who proposed burying him in a Franciscan convent in Budapest.[n 3] His daughter Cosima, the Festival director and wife of the already deceased Wagner, wanted to keep Liszt's body in Bayreuth as it was deemed advantageous for the festival and would also serve Wagner's legacy. As his closest living relative, it was her will that prevailed.[70]
He was buried in front of the organ of the English Reformed Church at the Begijnhof, one of the oldest hofjes in Amsterdam.[71][72] The floor of the church was renovated in 1975 and the grave was lost. In 2024 a small monument was erected there in his honour.[73]
As he had requested, he was buried next to his daughter Maria and his tombstone was inscribed only with his name because "Any who come to look for me will know who I was, and the rest do not need to know."[75]
His grave was lost for many years, being rediscovered in 1984 by Irina Goncharova, who relates her adventure in the article "Почти детективная история" (An almost detective story) published in 1998 in the musicology journal Early music quarterly [ru]. The inscription on his tombstone reads: "Martini, Vicent, Spanish Court Conceiller, born in Valencia January 18, 1756. Admired in the principal cities and courts of Europe not only for his talent but also for his beautiful and noble moral qualities."[76][77]
A monument was built in 1892 in Leipzig to commemorate his contribution to the city. The original statue was taken down by the Nazis in 1936 because of Mendelssohn's Jewish background and then melted down in 1940 for scrap metal during World War II. In 2008 a replica was unveiled commemorating the composer's 200th anniversary.[78]
He died in Paris on May 2, 1864. The next day, Rossini, unaware of the news, arrived at Meyerbeer's apartment to meet him, only to be shocked and faint. He subsequently composed a choral tribute, "Pleure, pleure, muse sublime!"[80]
All attempts to locate his original grave have been unsuccessful. In 1859 a gravestone was erected at what was presumed to be the correct spot, and was later moved to the Central Cemetery in 1891, the 100th anniversary of Mozart's death. The current memorial at St. Marx was made in 1950, replacing a simple tombstone made by the cemetery caretaker which is preserved at the Bezirksmuseum Landstraße [de].
He was buried in the cathedral cloister.[82] His tomb is presumably lost. As of August 2024[update] there is no memorial commemorating the composer in the cathedral.

Since Paganini had refused the final sacrament, the church refused his body to be buried properly. His remains were kept in a basement in Nice for five years until his family petitioned to have them buried. He was finally buried in Parma in 1876. Later in 1896, after a viewing request by violinist František Ondříček, he was reinterred in a new tomb where he rests today.[86]
The inscription on his coffin read Ioannes Petrus Aloysius Praenestinus Musicae Princeps.[87] His tomb was later covered by new construction made under Paul V.[88] The original site is currently situated beneath the Chapel of the Presentation, at a depth corresponding to the Vatican Grottoes. Further attempts to locate his grave have been unsuccessful.[89] As of August 2024[update] there is no memorial commemorating the composer in the Basilica. A monument by the sculptor Arnaldo Zocchi was erected in 1921 in Palestrina commemorating him.
He was initially buried in a private chapel at Schloss Wartensee [de], Switzerland. After several relocations due to changes in the castle's ownership and use, in 1957 his remains were reinterred at the nearby Kapelle Wilen Wartegg [de], which has since been renovated several times.[90]His original tombstone, after being stored in a shed for over fifty years, was brought in 2012 to St Mary's Church.[n 4][91]
In 1990 his remains were moved to a common grave for lack of payment. Later attempts were made to locate them but they could no longer be differentiated.[92] As of August 2024[update] there is no memorial commemorating the composer in the cemetery.
Since his gravesite could not be located, a cenotaph for him was dedicated at Pozzuoli Cathedral in 1913. The building was largely destroyed by fire in 1964. On the 250th anniversary of Pergolesi's death in 1986, his cenotaph was restored and moved to the Chiesa di Sant'Antonio.[93]

He died on March 5, 1953, the same day as Stalin. His funeral faced challenges due to the mourning for Stalin, with about 30 attendees, including Shostakovich. His second wife, Mira Mendelson, died in 1968 and is buried beside him.[97]
He was temporarily buried in Milan, in Toscanini's family tomb. In 1926 his son arranged for the transfer of his father's remains to a specially created chapel inside the Puccini villa at Torre del Lago.[98]
Some Russian figures are demanding the return of his remains to Russia claiming it was his desire. His descendants, in particular his great-great-granddaughter Susan Rachmaninoff Volkonskaya Wanamaker, oppose it arguing that it would violate his privacy and dignity.[99]
He was buried in the church of St. Eustache on the same day of his death, although the exact burial site is unknown to this day.[100] In 1883 a commemorative plaque and a bust were placed on the occasion of the bicentenary of his birth. They are located in the third chapel on the right-hand side, dedicated to Saint Cecilia, patron saint of musicians.
Six years after Reger's death, his funeral urn was transferred from his home in Jena to a cemetery in Weimar. In 1930, on the wishes of Reger's widow Elsa, his remains were moved to a grave of honour in Munich Waldfriedhof. Organ pipes are engraved on his gravestone.

Contradicting previous accounts of a solitary death, latest research indicates that Saint-Georges' friends, including noted fencing masters, arranged for his body to be interred at the Temple de la Liberté et de l’Egalité, now known as Sainte-Marguerite Church.[107] The cemetery adjacent to the church was closed in 1806. As of August 2024[update] there is no memorial commemorating the composer in the church.
He was buried in the now disappeared convent of San Norberto, which is currently the location of Plaza de los Mostenses [es]. His grave disappeared along with the convent in 1810. His house, located in close proximity to the convent, features a plaque commemorating the composer, which was installed in 1991.
In 2006 the town of Schwyz declared the grave a monument to be cared for in perpetuity. This exempts the site from the practice of removing the remains after a period of a ten to twenty years to free up the grave site.[108]
His death was seemingly influenced by his superstitions, particularly his triskaidekaphobia. This fear intensified as he approached multiples of 13, including his 65th birthday in 1939. He altered the title of his opera Moses und Aron, specifically avoiding the two "A"s in Aaron's name, as the original title contained 13 letters. He regularly consulted astrologers for reassurance, and he received a note in 1950 pointing out that the sum of the digits of his age (76) equaled 13, which deeply disturbed him. He died in Los Angeles on Friday, July 13, 1951, just before midnight, after spending the day in bed feeling unwell and anxious. His ashes were interred in Vienna in 1974.[109]

He was buried in the old Dresden Frauenkirche, but his tomb was destroyed in 1727 when the church was torn down and replaced by a new, larger church. The church was completely destroyed in the Dresden bombings of World War II. Reconstruction of the current church began in 1994, where a plaque on the floor of the main hall commemorates the composer.[110]
He is buried in the same grave as Johann Peter Salomon. Shield's friend John 'Mad Jack' Fuller commissioned Peter Rouw to create a memorial tablet for Shield. It was intended for Westminster Abbey but was finally installed at St Thomas à Becket Church in Brightling, after objections from the Abbey's dean over the use of the word "gentleman" in its inscription. In 1891 a cenotaph was erected in the churchyard of St. Mary's in Whickham, near Shield's native Swalwell.[111]
He spent his last years serving Infante Gabriel of Spain and tirelessly composing for him. He asked to be transferred to another monastery, which was not granted.[113] As of August 2024[update] there is no memorial commemorating the composer in the monastery.
At the funeral, Adrian Boult conducted the Royal College of Music orchestra, performing Stanford's compositions including "Stabat Mater" prelude and his Symphony in D.[114]
He sustained severe injuries, leading to a coma, during a robbery at his residence in Diani Beach, Kenya, on December 3, 2004.[115] Despite multiple surgeries and a transfer to Italy, though emerging from the coma, he never fully recovered finally dying in 2008.[116]
On February 25, 1682, he was fatally stabbed by hired assassins during his stay in Genoa.[117] His tomb is presumably lost.

His remains may have been discarded by labourers during the 1710s, when the church was rebuilt.[121] A brass memorial plaque, placed there after the death of his wife in 1589, is now lost.[122] His epitaph on that plaque was recorded by the English clergyman John Strype.[123]
Initially buried in a family grave, he was later relocated to a 40-meter-tall mausoleum, inaugurated in 1912 and designed by the Milanese architect Raineri Arcaini. In 1986 it was struck by lightning, decapitating a sphinx and creating serious structural problems. The tenor's heirs did not have the means to cover the expenses related to the restoration, so the tomb was handed over to the Municipality of Turin, which completed the works in 1999.[124]
The circumstances of his death have sparked various theories and speculations. While the official cause was reported as cholera, alternative theories include suicide, poisoning, and government intervention. It's also been suggested that his homosexuality and potential scandals may have played a role. The lack of conclusive evidence has perpetuated the mystery surrounding his death.[125]
He was buried in the cemetery of the monastery of St. Johannis, where the Rathausmarkt stands today. There, a memorial plaque on the left of the entrance to the town hall commemorates him.[126]

Her remains were temporarily relocated to the Cimitero Maggiore in 1993, before being permanently moved back to the Cimitero Monumentale, specifically to the Civico Mausoleo Palanti, designated for honorable citizens of Milan.[127] It wasn't until 2020 that a plaque bearing Tetrazzini's name was placed on the mausoleum, thereby formally acknowledging her burial site.
His epitaph is taken from one account of his remarks concluding the 1926 premiere of Puccini's unfinished Turandot: "Qui finisce l'opera, perché a questo punto il maestro è morto" ("Here the opera ends, because at this point the maestro died").[128]
The cemetery was destroyed when the area was redeveloped in the 1930s and the grave is now lost.[129] As of August 2024[update] there is no memorial commemorating the composer in the area.

His brother asked the sculptor Mariano Benlliure to create a special grave monument for him at Montjuïc Cemetery. In the monument, Benlliure sculpted Viñas as the three famous characters from Wagner's operas for which he was known: Lohengrin, Parsifal, and Tristan.[131]
Vivaldi was buried in an unmarked grave at Vienna's Spitaller Gottsacker. This cemetery was abandoned in 1783, and the Vienna University of Technology was built on the grounds in 1818. In 1978, on the 300th anniversary of his birth, a plaque was installed there to indicate Vivaldi's long-lost gravesite.
