Where are they buried?

So this is a thread where every once in a while, a Church father (or mother) we venerate would be known where his (or her) body is.  This way, someone travels somewhere, one can refer to this thread for reference to take a blessing.  I am not looking for accuracy or authenticity of the body, just what custom says, and we'll leave the decision to venerate to your discretion of faith.

Let's start with the 12 Apostles.

St. Peter--St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican, Rome, Italy

St. Simon the Zealot--(same, also the Basilica of St. Sernin, Toulouse, France) 

St. Jude (same, also the Basilica of St. Sernin, Toulouse, France)

St. Bartholemew--St. Bartholemew's Basilica, Tiber Island, Rome, Italy, also in Frankfurt Cathedral, Frankfurt am Main, Germany and Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, England 

St. Matthew--Salerno Cathedral, Salerno, Italy

St. James son of Alphaeus--Santi Apostoli, Rome, Italy

St. Philip (same) (original first century tomb in Heirapolis, Turkey has been found recently; of course, it's empty)

St. James, son of Zebedee--Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain, also the Basilica of St. Sernin, Toulouse, France

St. Andrew--the Basilica of St Andrew in Patras, Greece; the Duomo di Sant'Andrea, Amalfi, Italy; St Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland; and the Church of St Andrew and St Albert, Warsaw, Poland

St. Thomas--Cathedral of St. Thomas the Apostle, Ortona, Italy; Monastery of St. John the Theologian, Patmos, Greece; and San Thome Basilica, Chennai, Mylapore, India

St. Matthias--Abbey of St. Matthias, Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, and maybe the Gonio (Asparos) Fortress, Adjara, Georgia

St. John--nowhere to be found; some claim the Basilica of St. John, Ephesus, Turkey is where he was buried but others claim his body was assumed like the Theotokos

In Italy alone, there exists relics of 9 Apostles, 3 in France (same Cathedral), 2 in Germany, 2 in Greece, and one each in England, Spain, Scotland, Poland, and India

Also St. Paul--Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, Rome, Italy

Is it okay if you name the church and location and specify which John? :)

That's not fair, Catholics have a monopoly on the 12 Apostle's relics
