In Paramaribo, there is an impressive monument at the Rusthof cemetery in memory of the air disaster of the Surinaamse Luchtvaart Maatschappij June 7, 1989. The SLM disaster took place near Zanderij Airport and is the largest air disaster in the history of Suriname. 176 people lost their lives, only 11 passengers survived the disaster. Among the victims were many Surinamese Dutch, members and accompanists of the Colorful Team and the Amsterdam band Draver-Boys who supported the Colorful Team musically.

On Monday October 30th 2023 project 'Names from the past' was launched, in which the graves and grave monuments of Surinamese who have played an important or special role in history will be inventoried. The start of the project was during the course 'Funerary Heritage in Suriname', organized by the Built Heritage Foundation Suriname (SGES). Now that graves can be cleared from the cemeteries, graves of important Surinamese people may be in danger of disappearing. Because not all graves can be preserved due to a lack of space in the cemeteries, care must be taken to ensure that no heritage is lost.
