About Us

Murcia New Public Cemetery serves as a dignified and serene final resting place for the residents of Murcia and nearby communities. Established to meet the growing need for a well-maintained public burial site, it offers accessible and orderly services guided by compassion, respect, and community values.

Managed with integrity and care, the cemetery reflects the municipality’s commitment to honoring life and preserving heritage in a peaceful and respectful environment.

Cemetery Ordinance

The Municipality of Murcia, Negros Occidental, enacted Ordinance No. 440, Series of 2025, known as the Public Cemetery Code, to regulate the use and management of the Murcia New Public Cemetery in Barangay Caliban. The ordinance outlines zoning for tombs, a columbarium, and public areas, prohibits private tombs, and enforces burial, exhumation, and maintenance guidelines.

It assigns the Local Economic Enterprise and Public Utility Office (LEEPU) to oversee records, permits, and operations, and mandates proper fees, cleanliness, and environmental care. Violations such as vandalism, unauthorized construction, and littering are penalized accordingly.

The Murcia New Public Cemetery embraces innovation and public service by offering a dedicated Cemetery Information System focused solely on providing accurate, digital grave location services. This system enhances the visitation experience by helping families and guests locate their loved ones’ resting places with clarity, convenience, and dignity.

In alignment with Municipal Ordinance No. 440, Series of 2025, this platform supports the municipality’s goals of maintaining order and accessibility within the public cemetery. It offers a modern navigation tool without handling official transactions or administrative processes.

Interactive Grave Mapping and Location Services

Our primary and only service is a GPS-based, interactive grave locator that lets users search for a deceased loved one by name and instantly view the burial location on a digital map. The visual system outlines cemetery sections, blocks, and plots, helping users navigate the grounds respectfully.

The system is web-based and works across smartphones, tablets, and desktop devices. It displays only names and grave positions—no personal or sensitive information is stored or shown.

Accept burial or exhumation applications

All transactions must be completed in person at the Economic Enterprise Office and Municipal Treasurer’s Office as stated in Ordinance No. 440.
