Digital Cemetery — an endless memorial map

Digital Cemetery is an infinite online map you can pan and zoom. It holds the graves of more than a thousand historical figures — scientists, philosophers, composers, painters, writers, kings and emperors — each with a portrait, their years and a short biography.

Among them: Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Nicolaus Copernicus, Charles Darwin, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Louis Pasteur, Gregor Mendel, Ada Lovelace, Antoine Lavoisier, René Descartes, Immanuel Kant, Voltaire, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, Frédéric Chopin, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Vincent van Gogh, William Shakespeare, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Victor Hugo — as well as monarchs such as Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Louis XIV, Queen Victoria, Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie Antoinette.

You can light a candle or leave flowers on any grave, follow an interactive family tree, and create a free memorial page for someone you love — with a photo, their dates and their story. The map has living seasons and weather: autumn leaves drift, clouds cast shadows, rain leaves puddles and storms flash with lightning.
