Residents are being urged to utilize rural cemeteries, as the St. John’s Cemetery near capacity.
Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph says there are an additional 24 burial sites which are underutilized.
Last month Chief Health Inspector Sharon Martin confirmed that the public cemetery is running out of space for new burials.
Martin said this is the worst year on record for the number of burials at the facility with there being 305 at the end of September.

Ashes to Ashes.
Should we not have a multi denominational crematorium in the New Place of Rest?
Sometimes those in charge do not allow access. For instance if you have no links to the area or if you are not a member of the church even if your family is.
Good thought but lots of loopholes
Tell the MP it’s about time a new public cemetery should be already in place .
It’s been years they talk about a new location, didn’t know it’s so hard to allocate.
Guess it’s time for the government to invest in a cremated furnace
It’s been to long for a new public cemetery
There are people right here in Antigua who have been wanting to build a crematorium and have gone thru all of the paperwork and funding etc only to get rejected by the government Bc they say they want to do it themselves. Yet not a thing done up to now by then and this is years now.
Why has the new cemetery not been built? You clowns that we have for a government knew that one was needed seven years ago when you took over the government. You guys seem to be only interested in schemes to get rich and the people be dammed.
Gaston said on his radio show that the IMF was giving a loan to build concrete roads with buried utilities but he turned it down because the loan would not generate revenue. Governments all over the world borrow to improve their infrastructure, including a cemetery.
Molwyn, get off the podium and do what you are paid to do and stop flying all over the place at taxpayer’s expense. You can leave at least one legacy and when you die, we will name the cemetery after you.
Yes, Sir Molwyn Joseph Memorial Gardens.
The need for a new cemetery is IMMEDIATE and NECESSARY. The politicians must get off their fas asses and get it done. Is that clear??? No more talk.
People dancing in the street to a groovy reggae beat
Yet everything in life is bitter sweet
Sitting in a rum bar won’t get you very far
You think life’s a big house and a fancy car
But your heart can be lonely
Though you have life and plenty
Moving with everyone to the cemetery
You need Jesus in the plan to direct this island
It’s not all about sea, shore and sand.
This island needs Jesus, This island needs Jesus
He’s the Mighty King of kings, He’s the Conquering Lord of lords
This island needs Jesus, This island needs Jesus
Come along and sing the praises to the King.
True, but we need a new cemetery to bury you in when you dead. Time to get serious about these things. Jesus wants His people to be buried in a proper cemetery. That’s common sense.
always wanted to be a country bookie and help grow trees…
Maybe we ask the Chinese for help with a new burial ground? Why not? We ask for help with everything else. Or, maybe we put it in the new free economic zone. Tax free burials in paradise! We sell it to the rich. Own a six foot deep piece of paradise forever… haha, clowns!
CHINESE HELP I believe you are a genius. Only a genius could come up with such brilliant ideas 😂🤣.
