Cemitério do Morumbi, Cemetery in Morumbi, São Paulo, Brazil

Morumbi Cemetery is a garden cemetery in southern São Paulo, founded in 1968 by José Gustavo Macedo Soares Busch and run by the João XXIII religious entity. Its 300,000 m² are entirely grassed and wooded, with graves set below ground and marked only by grass and an identification plaque. Geometric shapes drawn in the lawn and circular layouts, inspired by American cemetery architecture, replaced the mausoleum style then common in Brazil.

Morumbi Cemetery was founded in 1968 by Dr. José Gustavo Macedo Soares Busch and is run by the private religious entity João XXIII. It was the first garden cemetery in South America, replacing the mausoleum style then common in Brazil with American-inspired lawns and circular geometric layouts. Ayrton Senna's grave, the most visited on All Souls' Day, lies here.

The cemetery is not named after a street but after the Morumbi district; its official name is Cemitério do Morumbi. On All Souls' Day, November 2, the grave of Ayrton Senna receives the most visitors, who leave flowers and racing memorabilia. The grounds also hold the tombs of singer Elis Regina and comedian Ronald Golias, drawing fans throughout the year.

The grounds cover 300,000 square metres, with parking inside and outside the walls and guards on duty around the clock. Access throughout the grounds is adapted for visitors with mobility restrictions. Seven air-conditioned and heated rooms for wakes, rest rooms, a reception, an ecumenical chapel, a cafeteria and a flower shop stand on site.

The cemetery serves as the final resting place for several prominent Brazilian figures including athletes and artists, drawing visitors from across the country. This presence of notable individuals transforms the grounds into a site of broader historical interest beyond its primary function.
