Choni Hameagel is buried in the city of Chatzor, Northern Israel. His actual grave is in the cave section of the tomb. Since the actual cave is kept locked most of the time a Tziyun was built in the outside room, where people can come and pray. There is an opinion that his two grandchildren [[Aba-Chilkiya|Abba Chilkia]] and Chanan Hanecheba are buried with him in the cave. However most sources disagree and place them either in a cave at the foot of the hill or on top of the nearby mountain.
