Montevideo
The largest cemetery is the Cementerio del Norte, located in the northern-central part of the city. The Central Cemetery (Spanish: Cementerio central), located in Barrio Sur in the southern area of the city, is one of Uruguay's main cemeteries. It was one of the first cemeteries (in contrast to church graveyards) in the country, founded in 1835 in a time where burials were still carried out by the Catholic Church. It is the burial place of many of the most famous Uruguayans, such as Eduardo Acevedo, Delmira Agustini, Luis Batlle Berres, Jose Batlle y Ordonez, Juan Manuel Blanes, Francois Ducasse, father of Comte de Lautreamont (Isidore Ducasse), Luis Alberto de Herrera, Benito Nardone, Jose Enrique Rodo, and Juan Zorrilla de San Martin.
