Cemetery expansions underway in Konin and Łódź

Infrastructure projects are progressing at cemeteries in Konin and Łódź to address changing burial needs and capacity constraints.

In Konin, construction has begun on a new cemetery located near Przemysłowa Street, between Gajowa and Marantowska. Although the project faced delays, officials report that work is moving quickly, with parking, fencing, main alleys, and the outline of a funeral home already visible. Energy installations and drainage work are complete. Vice President Paweł Adamów stated that land expropriation and design phases are finished. The first stage is expected to provide capacity for several decades, aided by the fact that over 60 percent of burials now involve cremated remains.

In Łódź, the Evangelical cemetery on Sopocka Street is constructing a columbarium to accommodate the rising demand for cremation. The new facility will feature 120 niches, capable of holding up to 480 urns. Construction is expected to conclude by late November 2026, with burials potentially starting in early 2027. Additionally, plans are in place to begin construction of a new administrative building, including a cemetery office and a florist, in 2027.
