About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

El Cementerio Católico de Recoleta -conocido también como el Cementerio Católico de Santiago– es el segundo más grande y antiguo de la capital. Don Luis Grez, quien toda su vida ha trabajado en el camposanto (desde 1 de febrero de 1974) y es el actual administrador (desde el 2000), indicó que fue construido en el año 1879 -tiempo en el cual dejó de prestar servicio a la comunidad tras la emisión de un decreto que prohibía a los cementerios de este culto darle sepultura a ciudadanos que no estuviesen ligados a la religión.
«En esa época el decreto fue emitido porque además se le negó la sepultación en un cementerio católico a un coronel del Ejército, que había participado en la Guerra y la consecuencia fue la clausura de todos los camposantos Católicos del país, incluido este», aseguró Grez. «Pero luego, en 1883 -bajo el gobierno de Domingo Santa María- fue derogada tal ley y se autorizó a todos los camposantos a reabrir sus puertas y darle sepultura a personas de cualquier religión. De hecho somos un cementerio ecuménico»
