Where was Claude Monet buried after his death in 1926?

Claude Monet was buried in Giverny Cemetery after his death in 1926.

Monet died at his home in Giverny on 5 December 1926 and was buried in the cemetery beside the village church. Giverny had been his home since 1883 and remained the place most closely associated with his later garden and Water Lilies paintings.

Accounts of the funeral note that Monet’s family and friends kept the ceremony relatively private. His burial in Giverny reflects the importance of the village in his personal and artistic life rather than a connection with one of Paris’s famous cemeteries.

Visitors to Giverny can see the grave near the church, as well as the house and gardens now preserved as the Fondation Claude Monet. The burial place is therefore distinct from Paris museums that display his work.
