Indeed. Last resting places are always sacred to those who care. But many a monument isn't a known last resting place. May I suggest "sacred site" is an over-used phrase. Mostly they are "auspicious" sites.


The 'problem' as I see it is that we've built up this belief that our great ancestors really did believe in the Afterlife (and they may well have done) so therefore they were possibly beginning their journey from their burial place, so it became sacred. Quite understandable for then, but now?
