Ashes policy and funerary heritage: International Call.

City Planning Agency of Paris (APUR) has asked the ASCE aid in collecting information regarding our members’ policies on ashes and funerary heritage. APUR has been commissioned to carry out a survey of the current situation in the cemeteries  of the central area of the Paris' agglomeration (most of them belonging to the Funerary Union of the Parisian Region -SIFUREP). A comparative approach at a European level appears to be crucial.
