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.

The Paraiso or Fench Cemetery is the resting place of some of the first workers of the Panama Canal from the French Construction era (1880-1889), from mostly Martinique, Jamaica and St. Lucia. These people were the West Indian workers who worked on the Pacific side. The photos we have provided is how it looks today but the old French Cemetery has not been pronounced a national historic and cultural patrimony and is not listed anywhere as a recognized historical monument site.
We, at the Silver People Heritage Foundation, seek to have this and all other burial sites of the former Panama Canal Zone recognized as Panama's National Cultural and Historic Patrimony.
