This cemetery has existed since 1908. However, it has had remodeling and adjustments to achieve what we have today," he said.Sanabria said before the pandemic, they knew how to estimate the death toll and arrange a place in the cemetery."Before the pandemic, there was a monthly calculation of deaths thanks to the statistics of previous years without the exact figures. In this place, there are several services such as the burial with the vaults, the ossuaries for the remains that result from the exhumation and the ash for when the remains are cremated and deposit them in these places," he said.Sanabria said before the pandemic, we knew how to estimate the death toll and arrange a place in the cemetery.(Footage by Juan David Moreno Gallego/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
