Abstract
Description
Este artículo explora la relación entre vivos y muertos en los cien años de existencia del Cementerio Universal en Bucaramanga (1910-2010). La realización de análisis cuantitativos y cualitativos de las losas sepulcrales y las boletas de exhumación, permitieron identificar la presencia significativa de iconografía religiosa y mensajes asociados a la incorporación del difunto en el más allá, con resultados inesperados para un camposanto laico. Adicionalmente, se develó la profunda preocupación por la transcendencia experimentada por los deudos vinculados a este camposanto, y de la cual dejaron testimonio en la cultura material fúnebre.

Additional, the deep worry was demonstrated by the significance experienced by the kinsmen linked to this churchyard, and of which they left testimony in the material funereal culture.
