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.

Dr. Ramón Emeterio Betances y Alacán, a revered figure in Puerto Rican history, played a pivotal role in the island's struggle for independence. His remains found their final resting place in the Plaza of Cabo Rojo.

On September 16, 1898, Betances passed away in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. His body was cremated according to his wishes. Betances had expressed a desire to have his ashes returned to Puerto Rico. However, it wasn't until 1920 that this wish was finally fulfilled.

To honor his immense contributions, a mausoleum was erected in the main town square of Cabo Rojo. This mausoleum stands as a tribute to Dr. Ramón Emeterio Betances, the father of Puerto Rican independence, and one of the leaders of the island's abolitionist and nationalist movements.
