For that reason, this list should be complemented with our other publication: [*Records of Burials and Exhumations Holguin Municipal Cemetery 1943 to 1949*](/other-content/records-of-burials-and-exhumations-holguin-municipal-cemetery-1943-to-1949/) Usually, these licenses provide more information than the burial books. For example, **these licenses specify where the decedent was from, occupation, age, race, name of parents, time and place of death, etc.** Our eternal gratitude to the selfless citizen of Holguin who acquired these licenses from the Holguin Municipal Cemetery.
