==Burial==
Khamerernebty II is mentioned in texts and on a statue found in the Galarza tomb in [[Giza]]. This tomb is located in the [[Central Field, Giza|Central Field]] which is part of the [[Giza Necropolis]]. The tomb may have originally been built for [[Khamerernebty I]], but was finished for her daughter Khamerernebty II after going through several changes.<ref name="CJ" /><ref name="Baud">Baud, Michel.

<blockquote>Mother of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Daughter of [the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, and Daughter of] the God, She who sees Horus and Seth, Great one of the hetes-sceptre, One great of praise, Priestess of Djehuty, Priestess of Tjasepef, the Greatly loved Wife of the King, King's Daughter of his body, revered mistress, honored by the Great God, Khamerernebty (I).<br>
Her eldest daughter, She who sees Horus and Seth, Great one of the hetes-sceptre, One great of praise, Priestess of Djehuty, Priestess of Tjazepef, One who sits with Horus, She who is united with the one beloved of the Two Ladies, Greatly loved Wife of the King, King's Daughter of his body, revered mistress, honored by her father, Khamerernebty (II).

The inscriptions of the title of Khamerernebty II were also made to imitate the inscriptions of Khamerernebty I and vice versa.<ref name="CJ" />
It is possible that she was buried in either Pyramid G3a or G3b (auxiliary pyramids to the [[Pyramid of Menkaure]]) instead.<ref name="DH"/>
