This decision, made on Monday, May 4, marks the first time the Amposta Municipal Cemetery will have comprehensive management including conservation, maintenance, cleaning, custody, and administration. The goal is to ensure constant upkeep of the facility, following a decade of roof repairs and facility improvements.

The new contract, with a base tender budget of 450,000 euros for a four-year period, incorporates several significant improvements. These include an increase in materials available to users, comprehensive maintenance actions for the space, painting work, improvements to paving and sidewalks, and the renovation of existing furniture.

Furthermore, an extension of public opening hours by an additional hour is planned, along with the implementation of a permanent 24-hour maintenance service to address any incidents. Concurrently, the City Council is processing the award of a new perinatal grief space, an additional block of columbariums, and a project for the installation of previously non-existent storm drains.
