Where Is The Garden Of Panton Cemetery

Indonesian people in urban areas with a growing population face the problem of increasingly limited funerals provided by the government and the community. Jakarta Region, the capital of Indonesia, with an area of 65,680 ha (162,300 acres) is projected to require a grave area of 785 ha (1,940 acres) Despite this, the area for graves in Jakarta is only 576 ha (1,420 acres). The high number of Jakarta residents who die, an average of 111 people per day, means that from 2012 onwards, burial grounds in Jakarta will run out of space.
