| Bahá'í Cemetery |
|
| Plots of land set aside by some Bahá'í communities for the burial of Bahá'ís. This is done particularly in places where all other cemeteries are used exclusively by other religious groups, or where Bahá'ís are not allowed to be buried in a particular cemetery. No special dedication or consecrating ceremony is necessary for land to become a Bahá'í cemetery. |
| The Bahá'í cemetery in Haifa is situated at the tip of the promontory of Mount Carmel as its northern face plunges to the plain. It is a six-acre plot purchased at the behest of ‘Abdu'l-Bahá. Its first recorded burial was in August 1911. Several early Bahá'ís are buried there including Ḥájí Mírzá Ḥaydar-'Alí and many Hands of the Cause. |
