In which cemetery is Vincent van Gogh buried?

Vincent van Gogh is buried in the municipal cemetery of Auvers-sur-Oise, France.

Van Gogh died on 29 July 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, after suffering a gunshot wound two days earlier. His funeral took place the following day, and he was buried in the village cemetery on a hillside above the surrounding fields. His brother Theo, who supported him financially and emotionally throughout his career, attended the funeral.

A closely related fact often causes confusion: Theo was initially buried in Utrecht after his death in January 1891. In 1914, Theo’s widow, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, had his remains moved to Auvers-sur-Oise so the brothers could rest side by side. Their graves are now covered with ivy and have become a major place of pilgrimage for visitors interested in Van Gogh’s final months.

The cemetery should not be confused with Saint-Rémy, where Van Gogh spent about a year at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum and produced many paintings, including *The Starry Night*. Saint-Rémy was an important location in his life, but not his burial place.
