Reus authorities decided to temporarily close the General Cemetery this Sunday to ensure user safety after strong winds caused several large trees to fall inside the premises.

Strong winds recorded throughout Sunday caused significant damage inside the General Cemetery of Reus, necessitating immediate precautionary measures to prevent risks.
To guarantee visitor safety, the premises have been closed, although burial services are still maintained, carried out with the accompaniment of attendees. Affected areas have been properly demarcated.
The Reus City Council plans to carry out the removal of the fallen trees and a full review of potential damage during Monday. The cemetery is expected to reopen once it is confirmed that it meets all safety conditions.
