How do you manage cemetery concessions?

Cemetery management requires very rigorous organization on the part of local authorities of all sizes: the layout of cinerary and funeral spaces is a real concern, and can prove complex if not properly managed.

Whether the concession is collective or family, temporary, thirty-year, fifty-year or perpetual, it requires special, highly specialized monitoring by town councils in order to optimize cemetery management.

Tricky technical and legislative management for town halls

Since 1981, we've been helping more than 6,000 towns and cities create and developcinerary spaces . Our mission is to advise and guide local authorities on technical, administrative and legal issues. Over the years, the management of concessions has emerged as a real concern: compliance with funeral legislation and optimization of space are recurring problems for many elected officials.

Funeral legislation is complex, and the procedures to be carried out following a death can be cumbersome. Municipalities need to keep their constituents informed, so they must master the main principles of funeral law and keep abreast of regulatory developments.

As for optimizing cemetery space, this is becoming increasingly difficult in many communes due to a lack of space, and it has become imperative to manage the administrative follow-up of 30- and 50-year concessions, as well as the repossession of those that have expired and not been renewed, or that have been declared in a state of abandonment.
