Nicolae Ceausescu (1918-89) and his wife Elena (1921-89) are buried at Ghencea Cemetery, on B-dul Ghencea. Their son Nicu (1951-96) is also buried here. Apart from curious tourists, you'll also find groups of the old faithful placing flowers on the grave, misguidedly convinced that life was better before 1989 than after. The grave itself is on the left side of the central alley, in the last plot just before the little church. His wife is lying in a somewhat neglected grave, marked by a scraggy wooden cross, on the opposite side of the alley, and Nicu's is topped with a grandiose, white and black marble tomb. It lies opposite the church, on the left side.
