About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Octagon Temple was designed by Giacomo Leoni in the 18th century as a ‘little cool room, by way of grotto' – a place to relax during summer walks in the vast Cliveden Estate. In 1893, soon after he purchased Cliveden, William Waldorf Astor employed an architect to convert it into a Chapel, with its walls and dome encrusted with mosaics. He and other members of the Astor family have since been buried there, five people so far.
