This article analyses the burial register of the English Cemetery in Malaga, focusing on records of deaths during the nineteenth century. The city’s British residents of this period formed a cohesive group within the social and economic miscellany of the city. The causes of death recorded in the documentation have required particular attention in order to help reconstruct the history of health in the city. To this end, we use the informational precision of these death records, kept in the care of successive British consuls, which constitute a text supplementary and parallel to the closing texts inscribed on the tombstones of this sacred enclosure.
