The Arrecife City Council has acquired a new coffin carrier vehicle for the San Román Cemetery, in which it has invested 30,495 euros and which will contribute to “improving the service during the celebration of funerals”.
In this way, the City Council will have a motorized coffin lifting platform that allows “to provide service in safe conditions to carry out the placement of coffins in the highest niches”.
In addition, the City Council points out that the workers of the municipal service have received a training course in the use and ordinary maintenance of the device, as well as the special mechanical tools necessary for its maintenance.
“The acquisition of this vehicle will allow the optimization and modernization of the service provided in the municipal cemetery, in addition to contributing to improving the working conditions of municipal workers”, says the Councilor for Health, Echedey Eugenio.
From the Arrecife City Council they point out that this new intervention is part of the investments that the government team has planned. One of them is “the construction of two hundred burial units and a toilet”, for an amount of 94,700 euros, which is being carried out by the company Construcciones Tiagua. From the Consistory they point out that the works are progressing “at a good pace”, hoping that they will conclude “shortly”.
“In this way, the need to implement the number of existing niches in the cemetery is answered, given the few that remain empty and the number of annual deaths,” says Eugenio.
