Also known as Antiguo e Histórico Cementerio Municipal and also as Cementerio Civil. This cemetery is located in Segundo Bernier Street in Coamo, Puerto Rico. It was the first of the three municipal cemeteries built in Coamo and the oldest.

The three cemeteries cover an entire block of the street, each with a separate entrance. The Cementerio Civil and the Cementerio Católico are separated by a low masonry wall and you can walk from one cemetery to the other. The Cementerio Civil covers the largest area of the block and Cementerio Municipal de Coamo is the smallest of the three, with a separate entrance and surrounding walls that makes it independent from the other 2 cemeteries. It is also the most recently built and used.

In Cementerio Civil there are very old burials, like the grave of Captain Frutos López, a Spaniard who died in August 9, 1898 in a battle against the United States Army during the Spanish American War.

It is a cemetery full of history and graves that look like monuments typical of the graves built on late 1800's and early 1900's.
