Roseto degli Abruzzi to resume cemetery exhumations and relocations

The municipality of Roseto degli Abruzzi has announced the resumption of extraordinary exhumation and remains relocation operations within its municipal cemeteries, starting October 16. This program, authorized by a municipal resolution, aims to reorganize cemetery spaces and is expected to conclude by October 24, 2026.

The initiative follows the completion of expansion works on the main cemetery pavilion, which has created new burial niches (loculi). These new spaces will allow for the permanent placement of remains that were previously held in temporary locations in both the central cemetery and those in local districts.

In the initial phase, the operations will involve 41 remains. The administration stated that the project will increase overall cemetery capacity and address the needs of local families and concessionaires. The municipal cemetery services office is coordinating with affected families to provide information regarding the schedule and procedures.
