description The study of burial practices expressed over time in the same territory allows them to be approached from a heritage perspective, where the tensions generated by the behaviors of different groups in the face of death activate processes of valuation and appropriation of a space that synthesizes, as few others, the historical memory, religious beliefs and social transformations of the population of Soacha (Cundinamarca). The municipal cemetery of Soacha, besides being the scene of tensions, allows exploring the new manifestations around death and the long indigenous tradition of this territory, occupied since ancient times without interruption for more than 10,000 years. The historical journey, therefore, allows to carry out reflections from the cultural heritage and memory of a territory.

El estudio de las prácticas funerarias expresadas a través del tiempo en un mismo territorio permite abordarlas desde una perspectiva patrimonial, en donde las tensiones que generan los comportamientos de diversos grupos frente a la muerte activan procesos de valoración y apropiación de un espacio que sintetiza, como pocos, la memoria histórica, las creencias religiosas y las transformaciones sociales de la población de Soacha (Cundinamarca). El cementerio municipal de Soacha, además de ser el escenario de tensiones, permite explorar las nuevas manifestaciones en torno a la muerte y la larga tradición indígena de este territorio, ocupado desde tiempos remotos de forma ininterrumpida por más de 10.000 años. El recorrido histórico, por lo tanto, permite llevar a cabo reflexiones desde el patrimonio cultural y la memoria de un territorio. O estudo das práticas funerárias expressas ao longo do tempo em um mesmo território permite abordá-las desde uma perspectiva patrimonial, onde as tensões geradas pelos comportamentos de diversos grupos diante à morte ativam processos de valorização e apropriação de um espaço que se sintetiza, como poucos, a memória histórica, as crenças religiosas e as transformações sociais da população de Soacha (Cundinamarca). O cemitério municipal de Soacha, além de ser o cenário de tensões, permite explorar as novas manifestações em torno à morte e a longa tradição indígena deste território, ocupado desde tempos remotos de forma ininterrupta por mais de 10.000 anos. O percurso histórico, portanto, permite realizar reflexões a partir do património cultural e a memória de um território.
