The Municipality of Herencia has undertaken a significant expansion project at the Municipal Cemetery, with the aim of increasing its burial capacity. This important initiative, which involves the construction of 15 new graves, will create additional space for 60 burials, thus meeting the growing needs of the community.
The councilor in charge, Inmaculada Ortega, along with Mayor Sergio García-Navas and a municipal technician, recently visited the site to oversee the start of the construction work. During the visit, Ortega explained that the decision to build more burial plots is due to the increasing demand and the need to offer better services at the cemetery.
The project, with an investment of €19,214.80, includes a series of detailed and meticulous work. The processes involve excavating the area to a depth of three meters, followed by foundation and concreting. Subsequently, an underground drainage system will be installed, and complementary work will be carried out to compact the terrain. Finally, slabs will be placed over the new graves to protect them, with pedestrian walkways and tree pits for the planting of cypress trees.
Mayor Sergio García-Navas emphasized that these expansion works are part of the regular investments made by the municipality to ensure the availability of burial plots when needed. He also highlighted the recent improvements made to the municipal facilities, such as painting of walls and common areas, and the acquisition of a mobile ladder with a platform and wheels, providing greater safety and stability when accessing the niches.
With these works, the Municipal Cemetery of Herencia not only increases its capacity, but also improves its facilities, demonstrating the continuous commitment of the City Council to the maintenance and improvement of municipal services.
