This seems to be an old European tradition.  At St. Peter's in the Vatican
you can hardly turn around without bumping into a tomb of a pope.  In Caen,
William the Conqueror's tomb is right in the middle of the abbey he built.
Similarly, in Rouen, Richard the Lionheart's tomb is where you'd stumble
into it if there wasn't a railing.

Fixed now.

And send more pictures!
