The cemeteries show two particular characteristics. First, there are not closed and, second, all the tombs (Christian) are white. The absence of wall protecting the cemetery comes from the time when prevailed the voodoos in the West Indies. For clannish reasons or by revenge, the voodoos had developed drugs making it possible to temporarily plunge a person in a coma which made think of death. The person considered as deceased was consequently very quickly buried (in the day because of the wet and hot climate). During the night, the voodoo came sought the person and made her slave of this death-alive (by maintaining it under drug?). These deaths alive could live a few months or years. The absence of barrier or wall made it possible to be able to observe day like night the comings and goings in the cemetery.
