Football legend Pele will be buried at the Memorial Necrópole Ecumênica on January 3. The Memorial Necropole Ecumenica, in Santos, is a 14-storey tall and unique cemetery, occupying an area of 1.8 acres. It contains about 16,000 graves. The private ceremony will be attended by just Pele's family and his remains will occupy the ninth floor of a vertical cemetery as a tribute to his father, who wore no.9 during his professional career as a footballer.
