The Parque Cemetery, managed by the Limeira City Hall, is facing significant neglect as it is filled with tall grass between graves, litter, and breeding sites for dengue mosquitoes. This disrepair has raised complaints among visitors and families of those buried there. Despite the concerns raised, the city administration claims that maintenance services are scheduled to be conducted. They noted a recent incident of vandalism in February, emphasizing the need for community cooperation to keep the cemetery clean and maintained.

Ana Paula Chagas, who was mourning the loss of her father, shared her grief at the cemetery while drawing attention to the neglect of the site. Her experience highlights the emotional distress families may endure while dealing with the loss of a loved one, compounded by the state of disarray in which their final resting place exists. The on-going issues were supported by a report from EPTV, a Globo affiliate, which surveyed the cemetery and found various problems, including litter and broken glass doors in the common areas of the mourning facilities.

The complaints surrounding Parque Cemetery underscore a larger community issue about public spaces and their upkeep in Limeira. As cemeteries hold significant emotional and cultural importance, local authorities may need to address these maintenance issues more actively to regain the trust and respect of the community. The statement from the city highlights a disconnection between the administration's claims and the visible state of the cemetery, suggesting that without public involvement and action from local government, such issues will likely persist and further impact grieving families' experiences.
