This is a list of cemeteries in the People's Republic of China. Many others—particularly in central urban areas—were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution of the late 1960s and 1970s, which regularized the use of cremation even in the cases of religious minorities such as the Hui. Since the Opening-Up Policy began in the 1980s, mortuary sites have been reopened in more out-lying areas, run as commercial operations.
