Municipalities in Chile, Spain, and Mexico are undertaking various infrastructure projects to improve cemetery facilities and burial capacity.

In Chile, San Felipe inaugurated a memorial at the municipal cemetery to provide dignified burial spaces for families experiencing perinatal loss, following the mandates of ‘Ley Dominga’. In Spain, local authorities in Viana completed accessibility upgrades, including paving and the installation of water fountains. 

Further developments in Spain include the renovation of the Armeñime crypt in Adeje, which added climate-controlled wake rooms and specialized refrigeration facilities. In Mexico, authorities in Ciudad Victoria are planning to expand the Panteón de la Cruz by adding 1,000 new graves and regularizing rural cemeteries to address local burial saturation.
