Municipal cemetery expansion projects
Overview
Various municipalities in Spain and Mexico are implementing projects to address cemetery space shortages.
In Granadilla de Abona, Spain, the City Council approved the construction of 40 burial niches as a temporary measure. This project is funded by reallocating 50,000 euros from funds originally intended for the Chimiche civic center. While the council views this as a stopgap until a larger expansion of over 200 niches can be processed, opposition members have questioned the decision to substitute other planned investments.
In Pedro Abad, Spain, a tender has been opened for 117 new niches with a budget of 121,000 euros. This expansion will utilize the site of a structure that collapsed in March 2024 and is expected to extend cemetery capacity by approximately six years.
In Tampico, Mexico, Mayor Mónica Villarreal Anaya announced a project at the Borreguera cemetery to add 1,440 niches. The first phase of this construction is expected to be completed by late December.
