MARIGOT:--- The Collectivity of Saint Martin hereby informs the public that the Funeral Service is resuming the grave identification campaign within the various cemeteries, from April to August 2025.
A campaign to identify graves will resume as part of the restructuring of our cemeteries and to better preserve our memory sites. Remembering loved ones and identifying their tombs is essential to organizing our local cemeteries and preserving memorial sites.
This identification campaign has several objectives:
- Identifying anonymous and abandoned graves
- Informing and assisting families in identifying the graves of their deceased loved ones
- Creating a database to establish a public registry, allowing everyone to find information about the deceased and their graves.
- Identifying particularly old graves of historical interest and highlighting public figures resting there.
The on-site identification sessions are scheduled from Monday to Friday (excluding weekends and public holidays) between 9:00 am to 1:00 pm in the following cemeteries:
- Marigot cemetery: from April 1st to April 30th, 2025
- Grand-Case cemetery: from May 5th to May 23rd, 2025
- Sint-George’s cemetery in French Quarter: from June 2nd to 27th, 2025
The months of July and August will be dedicated solely to appointments in all cemeteries.
The following documents enabling the identification process should also be presented:
- A copy of the death certificate and/or burial permit
- A copy of proof of identity of the person who will carry out the identification
All citizens are encouraged to collaborate with the Funeral Service on this identification campaign process, which will contribute to the enhancement of our shared heritage.
