Many soldiers killed on D-Day and thereafter were often first buried with their rifle and helmet as a grave marker. When time allowed they were later reburied in one of the many cemeteries in Normandy and the rest of France. This example is in the visitors' center at the American Cemetery near Omaha Beach.

The Normandy-American Cemetery near Colleville-sur-Mer has 9,388 burials, many of soldiers killed after D-day. The cemetery is beautifully kept and overlooks Omaha Beach.
