maybe question 2 is a trick question as it contains 2 locations.

George Harrison, the lead guitarist of the Beatles. died 29 November 2001.

He was cremated and his ashes were scattered in the Ganges and Yamuna rivers in India, in a private ceremony according to Hindu tradition

[Edit USA is not an answer anymore]if not that then maybe John Lennon who's ashes were scattered in New York City's Central Park, in the area now known as Strawberry Fields.

[edit 2] a guess at the code. the only 9 lettered english word I could find containing ACCB is accumbent - 'lying down; in a position of comfort or rest' so it kinda fits the graveyard and dead thing.
