It was where the last sequence of the film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) was filmed.[3] 49 years after the filming, the cemetery was rebuilt.[4] The reconstruction was recorded in the documentary Sad Hill Unearthed (2017), by Guillermo de Oliveira.[5]

In 2017 Asociación Cultural Sad Hill planned to state Sad Hill Cemetery as Bien de Interés Cultural.[6]
