Every Creed And Race Has An Equal Place

A place where all creeds lay, dust to dust, sided by side

On the small island of Trinidad, West Indies, in the district of Woodbrook, Port of Spain, Jews, Christians and Muslims are entombed together in a Cemetery established since 1926. At Mucurapo, towards the north-east side of the cemetery, there is a large section allocated to the German Jews and the Chinese indenture migrants whose circumstances brought to Trinidad and Tobago, and to their final resting place.


Rates for every kind of burial at Mucurapo Cemetery: Muslims graves; $1035.00 dollars Oversized, (over 25 years), $1074.00 dollars, 6ft grave regular (over 25), $480.00 dollars, Vault, $115.00 dollars and no refund of $75.00 dollars if any obstacles are encountered during the excavation.
