His death has been wrongly linked to a falling bookcase reaching for a Talmud volume.

His head took a different journey; it was stolen by phrenologists shortly after burial, and the skull was reunited with the other remains only in 1954.
She was initially buried in an unidentified grave at Cimitero Maggiore di Milano. Her remains were intended to be moved to a common grave in 1990 upon the expiration of her burial plot, but her pupils and friends funded the relocation of her remains within the same cemetery, with this arrangement set to last until 2020.[53] In 2018, thanks to the efforts of an academic researcher and several Spanish cultural organizations, her remains were exhumed and transported to Barcelona, later being reinterred in her birthplace, Valderrobres.[54][55]

He died in Bayreuth during the 5th edition of the Bayreuth Festival. Various requests were made to claim his remains, the most powerful ones coming from the Duke Charles Alexander who wanted to transfer his body to Weimar, and from Princess Carolyne who proposed burying him in a Franciscan convent in Budapest.[n 3] His daughter Cosima, the Festival director and wife of the already deceased Wagner, wanted to keep Liszt's body in Bayreuth as it was deemed advantageous for the festival and would also serve Wagner's legacy. As his closest living relative, it was her will that prevailed.[65]
He was buried in front of the organ of the English Reformed Church at the Begijnhof, one of the oldest hofjes in Amsterdam.[66][67] The floor of the church was renovated in 1975 and the grave was lost. In 2024 a small monument was erected there in his honour.[68]
As he had requested, he was buried next to his daughter Maria and his tombstone was inscribed only with his name because "Any who come to look for me will know who I was, and the rest do not need to know."[70]

He died in Paris on May 2, 1864. The next day, Rossini, unaware of the news, arrived at Meyerbeer's apartment to meet him, only to be shocked and faint. He subsequently composed a choral tribute, "Pleure, pleure, muse sublime!"[75]
All attempts to locate his original grave have been unsuccessful. In 1859 a gravestone was erected at what was presumed to be the correct spot, and was later moved to the Central Cemetery in 1891, the 100th anniversary of Mozart's death. The current memorial at St. Marx was made in 1950, replacing a simple tombstone made by the cemetery caretaker which is preserved at the Bezirksmuseum Landstraße[de].

In 2006 the town of Schwyz declared the grave a monument to be cared for in perpetuity. This exempts the site from the practice of removing the remains after a period of a ten to twenty years to free up the grave site.[103]
His death was seemingly influenced by his superstitions, particularly his triskaidekaphobia. This fear intensified as he approached multiples of 13, including his 65th birthday in 1939. He altered the title of his opera Moses und Aron, specifically avoiding the two "A"s in Aaron's name, as the original title contained 13 letters. He regularly consulted astrologers for reassurance, and he received a note in 1950 pointing out that the sum of the digits of his age (76) equaled 13, which deeply disturbed him. He died in Los Angeles on Friday, July 13, 1951, just before midnight, after spending the day in bed feeling unwell and anxious. His ashes were interred in Vienna in 1974.[104]

He is buried in the same grave as Johann Peter Salomon. Shield's friend John 'Mad Jack' Fuller commissioned Peter Rouw to create a memorial tablet for Shield. It was intended for Westminster Abbey but was finally installed at St Thomas à Becket Church in Brightling, after objections from the Abbey's dean over the use of the word "gentleman" in its inscription. In 1891 a cenotaph was erected in the churchyard of St. Mary's in Whickham, near Shield's native Swalwell.[106]

His remains may have been discarded by labourers during the 1710s, when the church was rebuilt.[116] A brass memorial plaque, placed there after the death of his wife in 1589, is now lost.[117] His epitaph on that plaque was recorded by the English clergyman John Strype.[118]
Initially buried in a family grave, he was later relocated to a 40-meter-tall mausoleum, inaugurated in 1912 and designed by the Milanese architect Raineri Arcaini. In 1986 it was struck by lightning, decapitating a sphinx and creating serious structural problems. The tenor's heirs did not have the means to cover the expenses related to the restoration, so the tomb was handed over to the Municipality of Turin, which completed the works in 1999.[119]
The circumstances of his death have sparked various theories and speculations.

LGBT slang, LGBT speak, queer slang, or gay slang is a set of English slang lexicon used predominantly among LGBTQ+ people. It has been used in various languages since the early 20th century as a means by which members of the LGBTQ+ community identify themselves and speak in code with brevity and speed to others. The acronym LGBT was popularized in the 1990s and stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender. It may refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender, instead of exclusively to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant, LGBTQ, adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer or are questioning their sexual or gender identity.
Self-censorship is the act of censoring or classifying one's own discourse.

The anthem for a person, office or rank is music played on formal or ceremonial occasions in the presence of the person, office-holder, or rank-holder, especially by a military band. The head of state in many countries is honored with a prescribed piece of music; in some countries the national anthem serves this purpose, while others have a separate royal, presidential, or, historically, imperial anthem. Other officials may also have anthems, such as the vice-regal salute in several Commonwealth realms for the governor-general, governor, or lieutenant governor. Ruffles and flourishes may be played instead of, or preceding, such an anthem.
