Cemeteries,Tombs & Memorials

There are many cemeteries and tombs found around Mauritius with many very old and sometimes quirky graves.  The names of the more prominent families appear on some rather impressive tombs and most Mauritian families have their own burial plot into which, all of their dead are buried.  This does often mean, the bones of those already buried, are collected during the re-digging of a grave to be re-interred with the latest burial.  Whilst the cemetery can arrange for a grave to be reopened for a fee, it is not uncommon for the male members of a bereaved family to dig the grave.

Many of the historic cemeteries which remain in use have areas where the interred died from infectious diseases and these areas will never be reused for fear of infection.

Unfortunately, the costs incurred for the research, site visits and hosting have forced us to monetize some of the categories. If you wish to view any of the grave photos or request additional information, then we would ask you to click the Buy us a Coffee using the button at the bottom of the page and then submit your request through the Contact Form at the bottom of the page.  Without your contribution, we will not be able to continue our work.

A $5 "coffee" will buy you a 7-day pass to all of the albums and images, as well as any longitude and latitude coordinates for any grave, tomb or memorial you might request.

We also have an extensive record of burials at many of the historic cemeteries throughout Mauritius.  We will happily carry out a cursory search of our records without charge however, there is a charge for a more detailed search.

Further information is available from our Buy me a Coffee page.

Your understanding is appreciated.
