What is a Necropolis?

Necropolis
A city where the dead are honored. With tombs and funerary shrines. Necro meaning death.
Most of the famous necropolises of Egypt line the Nile River across from their cities. In ancient Greece and Rome, a necropolis would often line the road leading out of a city; in the 1940s a great Roman necropolis was discovered under the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica
Egypt
The Giza Necropolis of ancient Egy pt is one of the oldest and probably the most well-known necropolis in the world since the Great Pyramid of Giza was included in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Aside from the pyramids, which were reserved for the burial of Pharaohs, the Egyptian necropoleis included mastabas, a typical royal tomb of the early Dynastic period.

The Etruscans took the concept of a "city of the dead" quite literally. These tombs had multiple chambers and were elaborately decorated like contemporary houses. The arrangement of the tumuli in a grid of streets gave it an appearance similar to the cities of the living.
Etruscan necropoleis were usually located on hills or slopes of hills.[5]

Mycenae
In the Mycenean Greek period predating ancient Greece, burials could be performed inside the city. In Mycenae, for example, the royal tombs were located in a precinct within the city walls. This changed during the ancient Greek period when necropoleis usually lined the roads outside a city.

This is great! Really love the idea of laying out a necropolis like a normal village or city, it's remarkably respectful whilst lending the place an air of being sacred and off-limits.
