What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cementerio Municipal Lanús is a municipal cemetery facing significant challenges with maintenance, including overgrown grounds, stolen plaques, and damaged structures. While some find a peaceful atmosphere and appreciate the available running water, the overall condition is described as a disgrace, with poor sanitation and difficulty locating graves. +2
"The place is fine, but it needs maintenance. The tall grass needs to be cut and a path put in where there aren't any. Almost all the plaques have been stolen, some of the mausoleums have been opened, and there was an area full of flies. The good thing is that there are running taps so you can get wet in the heat. Another bad thing I always notice is the bad smell of rotten flowers, which makes you want to vomit. The entrances are fine, but the grounds are horrible. On top of that, we couldn't find my great-grandmother because there are no identification numbers for any of the graves. The bathrooms are disgusting. I recommend you put up with it because they're very dirty and broken. There's an ugly area where old coffins are kept, and an area in the center with clean niches where an Argentine referee is buried."

"The cemetery is a disgrace. They cut the grass and destroyed everything we left for our loved ones. Besides stealing everything you put there, they break everything. It's disrespectful. The neglect is heartbreaking."

"It's a disgrace to see the state of the place where our loved ones rest. Not even an animal can be found in these conditions. Uncut grass, burning leaves that fill you with smoke and make you leave, broken and abandoned graves with no water. A TOTAL DISASTER. MR. MAYOR, DO SOMETHING FOR OUR LOVED ONES."
