About this cemetery
The Catholic cemetery of Oranjestad lies on Caya Ernesto Petronia, one of five burial grounds side by side on the same street, with the Protestant, Jewish, public and Masonic (Acacia) cemeteries. It holds the Dutch war grave of Segundo Jorge Adelberto "Boy" Ecury, the Aruban resistance fighter executed at the Waalsdorpervlakte near The Hague on 6 November 1944. His remains were brought home and reburied here with military honours in 1947.
The cemetery is open daily from 8:00 to 17:00. In April 2026 visitors voiced concerns about the poor condition of the graves.
