Johann Peter Salomon 1815 Violinist, composer Westminster Abbey, London, England
He is buried in the same grave as William Shield.
William Shield 1829 Composer, violinist Westminster Abbey, London, England
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.[3]

Pietro Locatelli 1764 Composer English Reformed Church, Amsterdam, Netherlands
He was buried in front of the organ of the English Reformed Church at the Begijnhof, one of the oldest hofjes in Amsterdam.[4][5] 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.[6]

 He was initially buried in Milan's Cimitero Monumentale, but his remains were moved to his native Lucca in 1894.
Robert Lucas Pearsall 1856 Composer St Mary's Church, Bitton, England
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.[7] His original tombstone, after being stored in a shed for over fifty years, was brought in 2012 to St Mary's Church.[8]
Charles-Valentin Alkan 1888 Composer Cimetière de Montmartre, Paris, France
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.[9]
Julián Gayarre 1890 Opera singer Cementerio de El Roncal, Roncal, Spain
His larynx was preserved and studied by specialists interested in understanding the physical basis of his exceptional vocal abilities, and is now on display in a museum located in his hometown, Roncal.[10] In 1901, his grave was embellished with a marble and bronze monument made by the sculptor Mariano Benlliure, who enjoyed a close friendship with Gayarre.[11][n 2]
Lluís Millet 1941 Composer Cementiri de Montjuïc, Barcelona, Spain

The castle was dismantled in the 18th century and only the main tower remains.[15] A memorial was erected in his memory.
Mykola Lysenko 1912 Composer Baikove Cemetery, Kyiv, Ukraine
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor 1912 Composer Bandon Hill Cemetery, Wallington, England

Johann Adolph Hasse 1783 Composer San Marcuola, Venice, Italy
Scott Joplin 1903 Composer St. Michael's Cemetery, New York, US
He was buried in a common grave. A memorial was erected in 1974, the year The Sting, which showcased his music, won Best Picture at the Oscars.[17]
Chevalier de Saint-Georges 1799 Composer, violinist Cimetière Sainte-Marguerite, Paris, France
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.[18] The cemetery adjacent to the church was closed in 1806. As of February 2024 there is no memorial commemorating the composer in the church.
