Presently, there are five cemeteries that are located in the municipality. However, the public cemetery in Papandayan has reached its full capacity. As such, acquisition and development of new public cemetery is an urgent concern that should be addressed soon since most of the constituents cannot afford the high cost of burial interments in private memorial parks, although they have the capacity to accommodate more.
