Famous people like Herman Lupogo, Steve Kabyumba, and Josina Machel, Ephraim Kibonde are buried at the cemetery.

In the 1960s, the cemetery was regarded as an upper-class burial ground, but today, people from all social groups are interred there.

Investigations have revealed that shady gravediggers and site managers are charging grieving families exorbitant prices for tombs at these locations.

The popular Kindondoni cemetery is at capacity, with the exception of very wealthy families who have secured space, according to the investigation.
