San Marino, “serving more space in cemeteries”
“The lack of space inside the cemeteries and the support for cremation.” It is one of the salient points addressed by the new delegated decree, in the matter of mortuary police, on which the Secretary of the Interior, Elena Tonnini, focused the spotlight in the weekly conference of the Congress, held late yesterday morning, together with his colleague at Education , Andrea Belluzzi.
Criticalities and solutions
“Precisely because they were issues suspended for some time – explained Tonnini – it was decided to tackle them with provisional interventions that are not structured but”, which clarifies why the measures approved in the classroom in recent weeks “are actually the result of 9-10 months of work , after a work of confrontation and sharing not only with the government and the majority, but also with the various technicians and public offices involved “.
As for the decree on the mortuary police, the Secretary continued, the main problem is the lack of spaces inside the cemeteries. An age-old issue that, he remarked several times, has been solicited not only by the current Castello councils, but also by past ones, as well as by the offices in charge, among which Tonnini mentions in particular the civil status office. He also points out that the critical issues have grown «on the one hand due to the increase in population and on the other due to the fact that a priority need remained unfulfilled. That is to address the principle of perpetuity of the concessions of cemetery spaces, prior to 2010 ». Now comes the necessary step: in the decree approved in the classroom passes the concept of the graduality with which from 1960 until 2010 we will go to the progressive and chronological decay of the various concessions ». The objective, points out Tonnini, remains “the possibility of having more space inside the cemeteries”.
Promote cremation
Another important factor? The Secretary of the Interior lifts the veil on the points of the decree that integrate the rules already provided for in 2010 regarding cremation. That we will try to favor other tools to those that were present since the 2010 law ». Translated: cremation has been foreseen within the San Marino territory for over 10 years and to access a practical story, even a simple provision written in the life of the organization of those who opt for this choice, wanting to participate in the next phase, may be sufficient. funeral in anticipation of his passing.
