· For the Romantics: Père Lachaise, Paris, France
From medieval lovers Abelard and Heloise to Jim Morrison, this pretty patch north of the city has its share of annoying tour groups, but there are no end of quiet lanes for contemplation. The cemetery was featured as the setting for one of the segments in the movie "Paris, je t'aime," starring a very much alive lovers' quarrel.

· For the History Buff: Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY
The heart of Kings County was the perfect place for former governor DeWitt Clinton, newspaperman Horace Greeley and gang member William "Bill the Butcher" Poole to lay their heads where they could still see the city lights. Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat also rests here after his 1988 death.

· For the Serious Gravestalker: The Hollywood Underground Alright, so it's not a formal cemetery but rather a loose conglomerate of cemetery frequenters dedicated to finding celebrities whose resting places are accessible to the public. Scythe and Grim Reaper robe not required!
