Sepulture is the act of burying the dead.
Often sepulture refers to a place of burial for human remains.
The word is derived from the Latin sepultra: to bury the dead.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cemeteries
On the contrary, the well-understood principle of law that a burial place was a locus religiosus and consequently inviolable seems at normal times to have guaranteed to the Christians a large measure of immunity from interference.
The jurisdiction which the pagan College of Pontiffs possessed over all places of sepulture no doubt caused difficulties, especially at those epochs when active persecution broke out, but the general tendency of the Roman magistrates was to be tolerant in religious matters.
Moreover it is probable that for many years after the Gospel was first preached in Rome the Christians were looked upon merely as a particular sect of Jews, and the Jews, as we may learn from Horace and other pre-Christian writers, had long held a recognized and assured position which excited no alarm.

 Portland's Early Cemeteries
Probably few of the present inhabitants of Portland, outside of the old pioneer residents, are aware of the act that at one time in the history of the place a cemetery was located in what is now the very heart of the city.
Two important considerations are generally overlooked by the founders of cities; one is the matter of an adequate water supply when the village outgrows its short clothes and develops into a city with its multiplied requirements; the second most noticeable feature is, perhaps, the selection of sites for cemeteries.
Subsequent to the abandonment of the land as a public place of sepulture, most of the timber has been cleared away, and the ground is very desirable as a location for residence owing to its elevation and the fine view of the river it affords.

For, however, in sight of men these things may seem hard and dire, yet "precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."1 So, then, all these things, care of funeral, bestowal in sepulture, pomp of obsequies, are more for comfort of the living, than for help to the dead.
Yet it follows not that the bodies of the departed are to be despised and flung aside, and above all of just and faithful men, which bodies as organs and vessels to all good works their spirit hath holily used.
It is said, namely, that dead men have at times either in dreams or in some other way appeared to the living who knew not where their bodies lay unburied, and have pointed out to them the place, and admonished that the sepulture which was lacking should be afforded them.

For if a father's garment and ring, and whatever such like, is the more dear to those whom they leave behind, the greater their affection is towards their parents, in no wise are the bodies themselves to be spurned, which truly we wear in more familiar and close conjunction than any of our putting on.
