Burial grounds, as one of the most important landscape that connect the living and the dead, can often represent culture, tradition and aesthetic evaluation of a local community; therefore, understand the similarities and differences among the burial sites can help people understand the culture and tradition of places behind the burial sites. This research studies the similarities and differences among different Western and Chinese burial sites, including Pere Lachaise in Paris, three municipal cemeteries in Michigan, USA, three public cemeteries in Shanghai, China, Two Chinese imperial tombs in Nanjing, China, and two rural ancestral burial grounds in Jiangsu, China. Cluster Analysis with Principal Component Analysis is applied to this research. There are total of ninety-one variables originally selected for the research from literature review and field studies, later eighty-seven significant variables are used for the calculation of Cluster Analysis. In result, six meaningful principal components are used for further analysis, and the first two principal components are used as primary dimensions for burial site comparisons. The result shows that principal component 1 can be used to distinguish the three types of Chinese burial sites, and principal component two can be used to identify Western burial sites versus Chinese burial sites. And the research further suggests the three public cemeteries in Shanghai are culturally integrated fusion cemeteries that inherit traditional Chinese philosophies and adopt Western influences.
