- 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. Within the areas of Anglo-Saxon settlement, there was both regional and temporal variation while burial practices. The early Anglo-Saxons were followers of a pagan religion, which is reflected in their burials from this time, while they later converted to Christianity in the seventh and eighth centuries CE, which was again reflected in their burial practices, when cremation ceased to be practised and inhumation became the sole form of burial, typically being concentrated in Christian cemeteries located adjacent to churches. In the eighteenth century, antiquarians took an interest in these burials, and began excavating them, although more scientific excavation only began in the twentieth century with the development of archaeology. Prominent Anglo-Saxon burials that have since been discovered and excavated include the early cemetery of Spong Hill in Norfolk and the great sixth-seventh century ship burial of Sutton Hoo in Suffolk.

- 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. Les premières excavations de tombes anglo-saxonnes remontent au XVIIIe siècle, mais il faut attendre le développement de l'archéologie pour voir les premiers travaux scientifiques à ce sujet, à partir du XIXe siècle. Les sites les plus emblématiques de la période anglo-saxonne sont le cimetière de Spong Hill, qui abrite les restes de plus de 2 000 individus, et le bateau-tombe de Sutton Hoo, avec son mobilier funéraire particulièrement luxueux.

- "A man may bury his brother with the dead (en)
- And strew his grave with the golden things (en)
- But gold hoarded when he here lived (en)
- Cannot allay the anger of God (en)
- He would have him take, treasures of all kinds, (en)

- "[T]he model may be synthesized into three major components. Firstly, suppression: burial with grave-goods was gradually squeezed out. Secondly, separation: the Final Phase burial grounds are a discrete group of cemeteries. Thirdly, succession: the cemeteries replace a nearby predecessor. For these three components of the model the causation, the motivating force for change, is Christianity." (en)
