AFP, BUENOS AIRESNo one can escape Argentina’s biggest economic crisis in almost two decades — not even the dead. Juan Tapia runs the Cocheria Tacuari undertakers in Buenos Aires, which has been operating for 60 years. Young people want nothing to do either with graves, niches [cubbies for storing remains urns] or tombs,” Tapia said. Rents at public cemeteries in Buenos Aires, including maintenance, range from 400 to 2,000 pesos a month. In the private sector, plots sell for a minimum of 55,000 pesos with monthly maintenance from 500 pesos.
