This article is about the Imperial World class; for the Necron World class, see Tomb World.

Cemetery worlds, sometimes referred to as Burial Worlds,^[3] are an Imperial world classification somewhat akin to Shrine worlds, where in cemetery worlds large areas of the planet are given over to care for the dead. Cemetery worlds may mark the site of a huge battle, or they may be covered in gigantic mausoleums, each dedicated to a particular Imperial noble. In contrast, rare cemetery worlds may be covered in fields of endless modest plots containing the remains of the inhabitants of a nearby hive world.^[1]
