The Old North Church in Boston, known for the lantern signal that was a message arranged by Paul Revere, was built in 1723 and didn’t have space for a graveyard. Nine years after it opened, the organization said, “a single tomb was excavated under the sanctuary and additional tombs were added over time.” Burials took place in the crypt from 1732 to 1860.
