"The remains of bushranger Ned Kelly have been buried at a small graveyard in
north-east Victoria, more than 130 years after his execution.
Kelly's body was exhumed from a mass gravesite and identified in 2011,
sparking a dispute over who had rights to his remains.
He was executed after the historic Glenrowan shoot-out with police in 1880.
The infamous outlaw's body was buried today in an unmarked grave at Greta
Cemetery, near Wangarrata, by his relatives.
Relative Joanne Griffiths says the service brought closure for the family.
"I think it is final closure," she said.
"We've brought him home, back to his family and back to the area that he
loved.
"We've given him his final wish, so that makes us quite happy."
Ms Griffiths says the cemetery is the resting place of many other Kelly
family members.
"There's a lot of unmarked graves," she said.
"Some of them originally were marked - unfortunately because Edward was so
famous, some of our graves were fiddled with over the years.
"We've made a real effort to ensure that he's going to be safe and he's
surrounded by family and friends, which is the way he would've wanted it."

Brighton Borough Cemetery is one of Brighton and Hove's big 5, and one of my all time favorite cemeteries I’ve visited.
I love how you step off a busy main road in Brighton, and find yourselves in an isolated woodlands location, with so much to explore, with hundreds of gravestones, monuments, tombs and mausoleums to explore. The layout isn’t that strait forward, but that helps add to the charm as you explore the many areas, from packed graveyards, beautiful areas of countryside and memorial gardens. Even after visiting multiple times I still found new areas to explore.

Memorial to Captain Patrick Wood, who twice circumnavigated the globe. From the memorial I can see he also stayed at Van Dieman's Land, or Tasmania, as we know it today

The Kranji War Cemetery (Malay: Tanah Perkuburan Perang Kranji) is located in Kranji, Singapore, and is the final resting place for Allied soldiers who perished during the Battle of Singapore and the subsequent Japanese occupation of the island from 1942–1945 and in other parts of Southeast Asia during World War II.
The Kranji area was previously a military camp. At the time of the Japanese invasion of Malaya, the area was in use as an ammunition magazine. After the fall of Singapore, the Japanese established a prisoner-of-war camp at Kranji and a hospital nearby at Woodlands. After the war, In 1946, it was decided that Kranji would be designated as Singapore's War Cemetery so the small cemetery at Kranji was developed into a permanent war cemetery and subsequently war graves from Buona Vista, Changi, and other cemeteries were removed and re-interred at Kranji.
There are 4,461 World War II casualties buried or commemorated at this cemetery, of which more than 850 of these are unidentified. There are 64 World War I headstones, of which three commemorate casualties known to have been buried elsewhere but whose graves could not be found on concentration.
Colin St Clair Oakes designed the Singapore Memorial and the War Cemetery, and the memorial was unveiled on 2 March 1957 by Sir Robert Black, who was a former a prisoner of war of the Japanese and at the time of the unveiling was then the Governor and Commander-in-Chief, Singapore.
Kranji provides a peaceful and serene resting place for those who have given their lives for their country and the nationalities honored reflect the rich heritage of Singapore. The site is a poignant reminder of the price of freedom.
