"And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan," Genesis 23:19, NKJV. #FemaleBurials
Even though the bible mentions numerous accounts of men dying and being buried, there are very few instances of female burials and grave sites; of those occurrences, the women are typically wives of prominent male figures.
Numbers 20:1, Ruth 1:17 and Acts 5:9-11.
