Cagliari, farewell to open-air funerals at the San Michele cemetery: the church reopens

The times of open-air funerals are coming to an end at the San Michele cemetery. After five years of heavy inconvenience, with many Cagliari residents forced to bid farewell to their loved ones out in the open, under the colonnade at the entrance, from the end of June the services will finally return to being held indoors.

The restoration work on the chapel on the top of the hill is in fact well underway. "We think that before the beginning of summer the chapel will be able to host functions again" , the good news given by the deputy mayor Maria Cristina Mancini, with responsibility for Cemetery Services. Total cost of the intervention: 150,000 euros.
