# List of burial places of prime ministers of the United Kingdom

This is a list of burial places of prime ministers of the United Kingdom.
Prime ministers are typically buried or interred in a place associated with them or, traditionally, their aristocratic family seat. Eight prime ministers have been buried in Westminster Abbey, and several more have declined that honour; 14 prime ministers have been buried in London (and only one, the Duke of Wellington, in the City of London, in St Paul's Cathedral). The majority of prime ministers (40) have been buried in England, with six in Scotland, and one, David Lloyd George, in Wales. All prime ministers have been buried on the British mainland except two, John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute and Harold Wilson. Eight prime ministers who held office in the 20th century were cremated before their ashes were buried or scattered elsewhere.
