Starting Tuesday, November 3rd, renovation work on the "Tilleul" dispersion lawn at Rhées cemetery begins, aiming to expand its area and incorporate a space for flower placement.

The dispersion lawn, located in the heart of Rhées cemetery, will undergo renovations starting this Tuesday, November 3rd. These works include its maintenance, the expansion of its surface area, and the installation of a dedicated space for placing flowers, all conducted with respect for the deceased and their loved ones.
This initiative aims to address the growing shortage of available burial plots within the cemetery. Rhées alone accounts for 65% of interments, and current capacity is projected to be full by 2031.
In the future, the municipality plans to extend these renovations to other dispersion lawns within the cemetery.
