Burial in Anglo-Saxon England refers to the grave and burial customs followed by the Anglo-Saxons between the mid 5th and 11th centuries CE in Early Mediaeval England. The variation of the practice performed by the Anglo-Saxon peoples during this period, included the use of both cremation and inhumation. There is a commonality in the burial places between the rich and poor - their resting places sit alongside one another in shared cemeteries. Both of these forms of burial were typically accompanied by grave goods, which included food, jewelry, and weaponry. The actual burials themselves, whether of cremated or inhumed remains, were placed in a variety of sites, including in cemeteries, burial mounds or, more rarely, in ship burials.

  • Le rite funéraire anglo-saxon correspond aux pratiques funéraires des peuples germaniques établis en Angleterre entre le Ve et XIe siècle. Ces pratiques ont beaucoup varié au cours de cette période. Avant la christianisation, les Anglo-Saxons païens ont aussi bien recours à la crémation qu'à l'enterrement, avec du mobilier funéraire dans les deux cas. Les défunts sont inhumés dans des cimetières, mais aussi sous des tumulus ou, plus rarement, dans des bateaux-tombes. L'arrivée du christianisme au VIIe siècle entraîne une évolution du rite funéraire : la crémation est abandonnée, les tombes se concentrent dans des cimetières adjacents aux églises et le mobilier funéraire devient beaucoup moins fréquent.
