COVER STORY

Cemetery or Forest?

 

You may not believe it but the St Ann’s Bay Cemetery, in the St Ann parish capital is still being used for burial although it was closed more than four (4) years ago by the St Ann Municipal Corporation (SAMC).

 

You may not believe it because when you drive past, the place seems totally taken over by large and small trees and other vegetation. People who buried their dead in the St Ann’s Bay Cemetery constantly complain about the dishonour it brings to their dear departed.

 

Here are some pictures taken inside the cemetery which is about 500 metres from the main offices of the SAMC.
