Bilbao modernizes the cemetery to provide cremation and pet services
The new regulation, which will remain on display until September, also includes improvements in the treatment of perinatal death and areas of religious pluralism, among others.
Bilbao City Council has presented a new regulation for the Villa cemetery, with the aim of adapting it to the new needs and sensitivities of the citizens.
With this update, the City Council intends to replace the regulations in force since 2012 and to take a step forward in modernizing a service that is considered "essential".
The Councillor for Health and Consumer Affairs, Alvaro Pérez, has pointed out that "the new regulation is a fundamental step towards modernizing an essential service that must live up to the expectations of a city like Bilbao." In addition to crematoria and pet services, the document states that perinatal death is treated more sensitively and that spaces are reserved for the burial of religious groups, in line with an increasingly pluralistic and diverse city.
The City Council has stressed that the aim is to move towards a cemetery that offers decent, effective and very human spaces for remembrance, as well as to value the historical and artistic heritage of the cemetery as a place of great symbolic burden to the city.
With this reform, Bilbao seeks to respond to the current challenges without losing the memory and respect that the funeral sites deserve.
