About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Bentota Church was built in 1755 at Bentota, a coastal town located in Galle District, Southern Province, Sri Lanka, and was later used as a school. Several tombstones placed in the floor of the church were said to have existed at an early time, but only one was extant at the time of reading.
