The regional Department of Public Works has granted the Municipality of Burcei a €500,000 grant for the expansion of the municipal cemetery.

The City Council immediately approved the urgent budget amendment to immediately begin the project's design process. This was a long-standing problem, often resulting in difficulties even finding a burial site.

We are also waiting for the approval of the variation to the PUC (Public Urban Planning Scheme) that will allow us to identify the new area for the new cemetery. In the meantime, the only immediate solution will be to partially expand the existing cemetery with a project to raise the building, due to the lack of space for new burial niches.
"We are facing a truly difficult situation," says Mayor Marcello Malloru, "with only a few burial niches left, and the fear of having to bury our loved ones outside of our town. With the new funding, we will be able to intervene quickly, always aiming to build a new cemetery. The municipal offices, despite the severe staffing shortage, are providing extraordinary support to this Administration, with commitment and dedication, even in emergency situations like this. The cemetery is a place of memory and respect. Caring for it means caring for our families and our history."
