Several U.S. presidents have been buried twice due to reinterment, but the most famous example often cited is President William Henry Harrison, though the most technically accurate answer is President John Tyler or others. William Henry Harrison, 9th president, died in 1841 and was initially buried in Congressional Cemetery in Washington D.C., then later reinterred in North Bend, Ohio, at his family tomb. Another president buried twice is James Monroe, 5th president, who died in 1831 in New York City and was first buried in New York City Marble Cemetery, then in 1858 his remains were moved to Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. John Tyler, 10th president, also was moved. Additionally, President Abraham Lincoln's body was moved multiple times after assassination due to attempts to steal it and construction of monument, but his final burial is in Springfield, Illinois. The president most commonly referenced in trivia as buried twice is William Henry Harrison because he died in office and his burial location changed from D.C. to Ohio. Another is Ulysses S. Grant, who was first entombed in Riverside Park temporary vault before Grant's Tomb completed. If counting reinterment after initial temporary burial, many presidents qualify. The answer depends on definition of buried twice, but Harrison and Monroe are standard answers in American history quizzes.
