  Cemetary Pastoor Kraanwinkel located in the heart of Paradera is a beautiful and lovingly tended resting spot for generations of Aruban citizens. This peaceful place is affiliated with the historic Santa Ana Church. The colorful crypts are maintained by family members, who often visit on holidays and birthdays. Some are elaborately tiled with marble headstones bearing pictures of the deceased, while others are painted a favorite color and marked simply hand written in cement, often with a message of love. Beautiful artificial flowers, are tenderly tacked down against the constant Aruban breeze and it's not uncommon to find cards, love notes and even an occasional Heineken left as offerings of remembrance. This cemetery is a delight for history buffs and photographers alike, definitely worth a trip.
