In addition to several already listed:

Ulysses S. Grant and wife in Grant's Tomb in NYC. Worth a visit, but check the hours.

Andrew Jackson at The Hermitage outside Nashville

Johnny Horton in Haughton LA

Many have mentioned Pere Lachaise cemetery. There is a documentary about it, "Forever", that is worth a watch if you've been there.

Lots of old country music and old tv stars.

John Ritter character actor and his father Tex Ritter both. Jimmy Dean , musician and later sausage. Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt.

They are all scattered around East Texas, AR, LA, MS, TN, OK. Just about every little town or wide spot in the road.

Yep. Cemeteries fascinate me.

George Washington, Elvis, Andrew Jackson, Jim Morrison, Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, Napoleon, John Hancock, Chopin, Huey Long, Helen Keller, Woodrow Wilson, Paul Revere. I’m sure there are others I can’t remember just in random cemetery visits.

Texas State Cemetery in Austin is a good place to visit. Countless Texas Legends



Glenwood Cemetery in Houston. Sam Houston and Howard Hughes are buried there. I don't remember who else but it's a pretty cemetery with nice views of downtown.
