Municipalities in Mexico and Spain announce cemetery expansion projects

In Tampico, Mexico, Mayor Mónica Villarreal Anaya announced that the first phase of a new niche construction project at the Borreguera cemetery is expected to be completed by December 28. The project aims to address the saturation of local cemeteries by adding 1,440 niches. These spaces will be offered at affordable prices with available payment plans to meet the needs of the population.

In Pedro Abad, Spain, the City Council has opened a tender for the construction of 117 new niches in the municipal cemetery, with a budget of 121,000 euros including VAT. The project will occupy the site of an old structure that collapsed in March 2024 due to structural issues. This expansion is estimated to extend the cemetery's capacity by approximately six years.
