Hi mariohall,
The following is the result of my research for the tomb locations of
Yehezkel, Ezra and Nehemiah.
EZEKIEL
“Kifl itself is a dusty, forlorn-feeling town of one-story mud-brick
homes. Finding the site of Ezekiel's grave was surprisingly easy...”
(...)
“...Under one arched doorway, a Hebrew in-scription reads, "And this
gravestone is the gravestone of our prophet Ezekiel."...
...The wood was covering a much older stone tomb that had two tablets
engraved with Hebrew at the front. I couldn't make out the writing on
them except for one word, which was the name "Yehezkel."”

“...The time and manner of his death are unknown. His reputed tomb is
pointed out in the neighborhood of Bagdad, at a place called Keffil.”

EZRA
“A few days later, we headed farther south to look for the tomb of
Ezra the Scribe...
...The tomb, is located on the bank of the muddy and fast-flowing
Tigris River in a town called Al-Uzair, some 250 miles south of
Baghdad. Al-Uzair, like Kifl, is a run-down place filled with mud
brick homes, its main street lined with peddlers selling vegetables
and live chickens...”

“There are number of traditions concerning the site of Ezra's tomb…
…the general accepted version is that his tomb is situated in Uzer, a
village near Basra. This tradition is mentioned by Benjamin of Tuleda,
Pethahiah of Regensburg, Judah Alharizi, and other travelers, Jewish
and non-Jewish who visited Babylonia.”

NEHEMIAH
“...Of his subsequent history we know nothing. Probably he remained at
his post as governor till his death (about B.C. 413) in a good old
age. The place of his death and burial is, however, unknown.”
