Where is Christopher Hitchens buried?

Christopher Hitchens is buried in Rock Creek Cemetery, one of the oldest and most historic cemeteries in the city.

He was laid to rest there after his death in 2011. His grave is quite modest no grand monument, just a simple headstone very much in line with his straightforward, no-nonsense personality. The cemetery itself is known for its quiet, park-like setting and is open to visitors, so people who admired his work often stop by to pay their respects.

It’s also worth noting that the location places him among many notable writers, politicians, and public figures, which feels fitting given his influence as a sharp critic, essayist, and public intellectual.
