The Calpe Town Hall is currently processing the tender for the extension works of the municipal cemetery with a base budget of 206,042.46 €. The extension of the municipal cemetery will involve the construction of a new level with capacity for 111 additional niches, distributed in four modules.
In addition to the niches, aesthetic and functional improvements will be made, such as the creation of green areas with dry stone walls and the installation of a new irrigation system. The work will begin once the tender process is completed and will last three months,
In view of the growing population and the need to meet the demands of the residents, the Town Council has begun the process of extending the Municipal Cemetery on a plot of land adjacent to the newest part of the Municipal Cemetery.
This measure was taken after an exhaustive analysis of the current situation and with the aim of guaranteeing the provision of an essential service for all citizens. The extension will increase the number of niches available, thus ensuring that all residents will have access to a dignified place for the eternal rest of their loved ones.
Marco Bittner, the Councillor responsible for the Eternal Rest Park has highlighted the importance of this initiative and underlined that ‘the extension of the municipal cemetery is a necessary measure to guarantee the wellbeing of our neighbours and ensure that they can say goodbye to their loved ones in a suitable environment’.
