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.

The Ambrose Powell Hill monument is located in the center of the intersection of West Laburnum Avenue and Hermitage Road in Richmond, Virginia. Buried beneath the monument is the body of Lieutenant General Ambrose Powell Hill, underneath a 9 1/2 foot statue of his likeness, which is mounted on a 24 1/2 foot pedestal. His remains were transferred there from Hollywood Cemetery in 1891, with the permission of his widow. The Baltimore Sun newspaper, of June 30, 1891, on page 3, in a special dispatch from Richmond, Virginia, dated June 29, 1891, reported that, "Those in charge of the A. P. Hill monument, which is now being erected at the intersection of Hermitage and Laburnum avenues...have received authority from General Hill's widow for the removal of the latter's remains from Hollywood. The removal will take place quietly at an early day, and the remains will be placed in a sarcophagus prepared in the monument."
