Cemitério do Morumbi

What Cemitério do Morumbi does

Cemitério do Morumbi, legally operated as Parque Morumby Administração Ltda., is a private cemetery park (cemitério-jardim) located in the Morumbi neighborhood of São Paulo, Brazil. Founded in 1968 by the João XXIII Religious Community, it was the first 'Cemitério Parque' (park cemetery) in South America and spans a 300,000 m² site with extensive landscaping, internal/external parking, 24-hour security, and full wheelchair accessibility. The business serves families and individuals in São Paulo requiring burial, cremation, or memorial services.

The core revenue drivers are (1) one-time sale of perpetual or long-term burial plot concessions (jazigos), sold either preventively or at need, with separate charges for gavetas (drawers); (2) funeral and burial service fees covering wake (velório) ceremonies across seven air-conditioned/heated rooms, chapel services, and burial (inumação); (3) cremation services offered through tiered plans including a new commemorative cremation ceremony package; and (4) recurring maintenance and administration fees invoiced periodically to concession holders through Banco Itaú. Ancillary revenue flows from on-site 24-hour cafeteria and florist operations.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: customers engage via dedicated phone lines for sales, finance, concierge, cremation, and boletos, supplemented by WhatsApp, email, and walk-ins at the Av. Brasil administrative office in Jardim América. There is no proprietary technology stack, no app, no disclosed online purchase capability, and no integration ecosystem; the business is intentionally traditional with an emphasis on in-person, high-touch family assistance, including a recently launched 24-hour concierge line for bereavement logistics.
