Father Junípero Serra was buried at Mission Carmel because it was one of the most significant missions he established in California and served as his headquarters. After his death in 1784, it was chosen as his burial site due to its importance in the mission system and his role in spreading Christianity among the Native Americans. The mission also holds historical significance as it reflects Serra's legacy and the impact of Spanish colonization in the region. Today, Mission Carmel is recognized as a key site in California's history.
