Verona plans to build a 33-story cemetery

In Verona, they plan to build a 33-story cemetery that can accommodate 24,000 graves. The project, prepared by Cielo Infinito, has already received prior approval from the Verona City Council.

If the project is implemented, the 33-story cemetery will become the tallest building in Verona. However, local authorities assure that the high-rise cemetery will not disturb the panorama of the city, as it will be built behind the ring road.

On 33 floors it is planned to place a columbarium, cells for burial in coffins, as well as more than 2 thousand family tombs (English).

The Times

• Multi-storey cemeteries have already been built in several cities around the world, where the most acute issue is the allocation of land for burial. So, in the Brazilian city of Santos there is a 32-story cemetery, which is considered the tallest structure of this type in the world.
• In Tokyo, at one of the Buddhist temples, there is a 6-story "high-tech cemetery", where urns with ashes are delivered to those who come to honor the memory of the dead on a special conveyor, which the relatives of the deceased activate with a magnetic key card.
