Mexicali Advances New Municipal Cemetery Plan as Cities Ready Día de Muertos Operations

Technical reviews are underway for a 470,000‑square‑meter site near the San Felipe road, while municipalities deploy cleaning, security and medical services for heavy cemetery attendance this weekend.

Overview

  • Mexicali’s mayor confirmed a new municipal cemetery to replace capacity at Centinela, which officials say has roughly two years left at about 70 burials per month.
  • Public Works officials identified a proposed location across from Ejido Hipólito Rentería that could meet burial needs for up to 70 years, with dictámenes in process before Cabildo consideration.
  • Tijuana reported its 14 municipal cemeteries are prepared, projecting 200,000 to 300,000 visitors, after intensive cleanups, added internal transport and limited visiting hours with alcohol restrictions.
  • Nuevo León’s Protección Civil expects close to one million visitors and has more than 1,100 responders and a helicopter on standby, urging people to respect cordoned areas and avoid walking or sitting on graves due to frequent falls.
  • Tlajomulco will field over 250 personnel across police, fire and medical units and has cordoned about 170 risky crypts, while Escobedo teams cleaned and marked hazards; nationally, Concanaco‑Servytur estimates 45.3 billion pesos in seasonal spending.
