    Wow! I can't believe that people are so disrespectful of the final resting place of people's loved ones! How can someone just toss garbage over the fence of a cemetery?
    What about the municipal authorities responsible for its maintenance --- after all, I don't believe it is a private cemetery. And if it is privately owned, then the government should clean it, plant tall edging along the fence, and levy fines on the owners to cover the cost. Sad. 😢😢 Thanks, Jamaican Chapter!

    The Cemetery closed in 2018 because there was no more space. In 2021, Telka Holt, commercial services manager of the St Catherine Municipal Corporation, said that plans are in train for the No. 5 Cemetery to be cleaned. Now it's 2024 & it is still not clean.
