Avalon Cemetery is one of the largest graveyards in South Africa. It was opened in 1972, during the height of apartheid, as a graveyard exclusively for blacks. More than 300,000 people are buried on its 430 acres (1.7 km2), the graves less than two feet apart. By 2010 the cemetery is expected to be at capacity, largely because of AIDS deaths.
