The Almoradí Town Council has completed significant works to expand and improve the municipal cemetery, with a total investment of two hundred and fifty-six thousand euros. This investment has allowed for the addition of one hundred and seventy-six new columbarium units, responding to the urgent need as the cemetery was near its capacity limit. All available plots have been filled with new columbariums, and efforts have been made to unify the aesthetics of existing modules to create a cohesive appearance.
A major highlight of the renovation is the creation of a covered area for ceremonies, which is highly requested. This space will allow for masses and farewell ceremonies to be conducted with greater comfort and respect, particularly during significant dates such as All Saints. Furthermore, a municipal ossuary has been built to accommodate remains relocated due to age, ensuring families have a dignified and accessible site to visit.
The old cemetery’s main gate has also been renovated to match the upgraded aesthetics of the area. The Mayor of Almoradí, María Gómez, emphasised that these improvements demonstrate the government’s commitment to maintaining and enhancing public services. She noted that further restoration works would continue in the older parts of the cemetery in the coming months to preserve the historical integrity of the site.
In preparation for the All Saints festivities, the Mayor announced that bus services to the cemetery will be expanded this year, operating from Friday, the thirty-first of October, to Sunday, the second of November. This initiative aims to facilitate access and reduce congestion on these busy days.
