<div class="shortContent">The "Kuratorium Immaterielles Erbe Friedhofskultur" invites you to join the initiative "Intangible cultural heritage: Cemetery culture in Europe".</div>
<div class="mainContent">
<div class="clear">
<h4>About the initiative</h4>
<p>Cemetery culture is part of the <b>"Nationwide Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage"</b> in Germany. It refers to the architecture of cemeteries, burial practices and mourning and commemoration rituals. Associated craft techniques and customs preserve this cultural form and ensure the maintenance of the cemeteries.
</p><p>
The official partner of the German UNESCO Commission for the care, preservation and further development of this intangible cultural heritage is the <b>"Kuratorium Immaterielles Erbe Friedhofskultur"</b>. This non-profit association is now reaching for a <b>UNESCO nomination of "Intangible cultural heritage: Cemetery culture in Europe"</b> as a common initiative of several European countries. To achieve this aim, it is necessary that other European countries obtain the Intangible Cultural Heritage status for their national cemetery culture.</p></div>
<div class="clear">
<h4>Call for cooperation</h4><p>
The Kuratorium is now <b>looking for</b> <b>European partners</b>. If you are interested in collaboration, please <b>contact</b> <b>Tobias Pehle</b> (director of the Kuratorium Immaterielles Erbe Friedhofskultur) at <a href="mailto:info@kulturerbe-friedhof.de">info@kulturerbe-friedhof.de</a> or <a href="tel:491631717039925">+49 163 171 70 39 925</a>.</p><p>The official call for cooperation can be found <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/14R8QO13Xq-ZfMjWXuBrai-8tqWyKMQGq/view?usp=sharing" rel="" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a>.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i><span style="color: #cccccc;">*Photo by Tobias Pehle, source https://www.unesco.de/en/culture-and-nature/intangible-cultural-heritage/cemetery-culture</span></i></p></div>

<p>Playing in a historic cemetery may seem transgressive, but you can do it, you must. This was precisely the goal set by <b>Panda Project's "Cimitero dal Vivo"</b> (eng. "Cemetery Live"), winner of the PNRR TOCC Call for Proposals Digital Transition Cultural and Creative Bodies funded by the European Union - Next Generation EU.</p><p>
In December 2022, Emilia Romagna was the first region in Italy that passed <b><a href="https://www.significantcemeteries.org/2023/01/the-first-regional-law-in-italy-to.html">a law for the "Recognition and Enhancement of Monumental and Historic Cemeteries"</a></b>, with the aim of ensuring the enhancement, preservation and promotion of these assets, encouraging their use by citizens.
</p><p>
In England, cemeteries are <b>living places</b>, where it is possible to walk, read, study or have a picnic with friends. The northern European cemeteries provide a <b>different way of being with the deceased</b>. The Assistens Cemetery in Copenhagen, for example, is not experienced as a place of sadness but of <b>recreation</b>, and it is not uncommon to see people sunbathing.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">About the project</h4>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUGJUsLQftIFA1G0QKufNnXCt7Y7a39xaxKeJS-PJC6V_1t-rdVL3_TC7P7XXBLv0swW5wI6R8qFsxGp4UDAcDIYKJEg57yDS9HIGEV2ybvZS2dwrV-mbxOhPDDhlEFzWxvNRtMlta0cTI55hW-g3E5UTxSYaGXkonmuNK3tcf4RNgA-PYO-hjl_uqKuQa/s2761/Ravennas%20Historic%20Cemetery%20%281%29.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="The "Cimitero dal Vivo" project" border="0" data-original-height="2761" data-original-width="2000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUGJUsLQftIFA1G0QKufNnXCt7Y7a39xaxKeJS-PJC6V_1t-rdVL3_TC7P7XXBLv0swW5wI6R8qFsxGp4UDAcDIYKJEg57yDS9HIGEV2ybvZS2dwrV-mbxOhPDDhlEFzWxvNRtMlta0cTI55hW-g3E5UTxSYaGXkonmuNK3tcf4RNgA-PYO-hjl_uqKuQa/w290-h400/Ravennas%20Historic%20Cemetery%20(1).jpg" title="The "Cimitero dal Vivo" project" width="290" /></a>
<p>The "Cimitero dal Vivo" project, carried out in 2024, aims to regenerate the entire Darsena district and is based on an <b>innovative format</b> for visiting Ravenna's Historic Cemetery that makes<b> </b>use of new digital tools and immersive audio. The project created the <b>urban digital game R-Tales, a new digital map, and a live show that combines music, theater, and performance</b> creating a unique and unforgettable experience.
</p><p>
How does the game work? <b>Davide Leone, Soc. Coop U'Game</b>, explains: <i>"The purpose of the R-Tales game is to help a mysterious soul find himself by confronting four exciting missions that recount as many important events in the city's history. You will discover, through the deceased voices of the main characters the adventure of Giuseppe Garibaldi and the exploits of Romolo Gessi, the mystery of Dante's bones, the quarrel between the most important orchestra conductor of the time and Giuseppe Verdi over the love of a soprano."
</i></p><p>
The map and urban game are part of a <b>series of interactive online paths</b> that take us through emotional-collective memories to discover the characters buried at the cemetery who made the city's history, such as Luigi Rasi and Filippo Mordani. They immerse us in the mysteries hidden among the graves and the artistic wonders of the Monumental Cemetery.
</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">The importance of the project</h4>

<p><i>
"Monumental places in our city have always inspired artists,"</i> says <b>Ravenna Culture Councillor Fabio Sbaraglia</b>, <i>"They have stimulated projects capable of placing diverse spot lights on spaces we are fond of or used to hang out at. Panda Project, with a special look and a deep and conscious respect, investigates the history of our historic cemetery through a project that embraces the entire dock area and connects with the urban regeneration experiences that our city has undertaken over the years."
</i></p><p><i>
"Historic cemeteries are magical places and they are free: A historical, cultural and green heritage that must be enhanced and not left to decay. We need to change the paradigm: we must give historic cemeteries a new meaning and people a new way of approaching them and approaching death,"</i> explains <b>Delia Trice of Panda Project</b>.
</p><p><b>
Matteo Pini of Spazi Indecisi</b>, who created the project's graphic identity and the new mapping, tells of their involvement: <i>"The sensations conveyed by the Historic Cemetery immediately pushed the work of Spazi Indecisi toward a concept related to contrasts: the most recurrent dualism (life/death) is materialized symbolically through the anomalous, borderline location that contrasts monumental and industrial architecture, widening the point of view, nature and anthropization, land and water. The intention is to highlight the cemetery's values of memory, rest and tranquility, in which the natural presence of trees and water mitigates that of some Gothic novel settings, arousing in the visitor a sense of fascination rather than disquiet. Hence the choices of lettering, more friendly than austere, and of a high-contrast color palette, which combines cool tones of blue with the industrial buildings, and warm tones of yellow and red with the cemetery. Also evident between the lines is a reference to the heraldic colors of the city of Ravenna and an admiring reference to "Deserto Rosso" (M. Antonioni, 1964) in the choice of the color of the pine trees."
</i></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Project participants</h4><p>
A great contribution to the project was that of <b>Sguardi in Camera</b>, an association specializing in private visual archives (family films and photographs). For the "Cimitero dal Vivo" project, it oversaw the research and collection of oral testimonies of teenagers.
</p><p><b>
Frame Lab - UniBo</b> and <b>Penelope Muratori</b>, who worked on text verification, writing and video material creation for the project, produced a narrative in images that takes us inside the experience created by the game.</p><p>Link to the video: <a href="https://vimeo.com/910792719" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/910792719 </a></p><h4>Panda Project contacts: </h4><a href="mailto:info@pandaproject.it"> info@pandaproject.it</a><br /><a href="tel:+393470743593">+39 347 0743593</a></div>

<div class="mainContent">
<p>The objective of the Association of Significant Cemeteries in Europe (ASCE) is to raise European citizen awareness of the importance of significant cemeteries. We encourage people to visit and explore cemeteries, learn about them, and in this way, start seeing them as places of life that carry a rich cultural heritage. For this to be possible, <b>cemeteries must be accessible to everyone</b> - including people with disabilities or reduced mobility.
</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">The COCEMFE's project</h4><p>
The <b><a href="https://www.cocemfe.es/en/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spanish Confederation of People with Physical and/or Organic Disabilities (COCEMFE) Asturias</a></b> is currently working on a <b>project</b>, in which they try to make a cemetery area located in a natural space <b>as accessible as possible for people with disabilities</b> and/or reduced mobility, so that all citizens can make use of this new public space.
</p><p>
Since this is a very important topic that should be exposed more often, we are reaching out to our ASCE and <a href="https://cemeteriesroute.eu/about-cemeteries-route.aspx" target="_blank">European Cemeteries Route</a> members as well as all other cemetery managers. On behalf of the COCEMFE, we are asking you to <b>share your examples of successful practices regarding accessibility challenges in your cemeteries</b>. We encourage you to provide insights into how you have overcome these issues, ensuring maximum accessibility for all cemetery visitors. Additionally, suggestions for further improvements on this field are welcomed.
</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Share examples of good practices</h4><p>
If you believe that your cemetery has implemented effective solutions to facilitate easy access for individuals with disabilities and mobility impairments, please<b> contact David Fernández González</b> from the Oficina Técnica de Accesibilidad at <a href="mailto:accesibilidad@cocemfeasturias.es"><b>accesibilidad@cocemfeasturias.es</b></a>.
</p><p>
We hope that as many of our members as possible can serve as <b>exemplary models in promoting accessibility on cemeteries</b>!</p>

<div class="shortContent">A special event, that marked the five-year anniversary of the Feriköy Protestant Cemetery Initiative and its efforts for the Feriköy Protestant Cemetery.
</div>
<div class="mainContent">
<h4>About the event</h4><p>On <b>15 December 2023</b>, the Feriköy Protestant Cemetery Initiative held its <b>second annual seasonal gathering</b> at Istanbul’s <a href="https://www.significantcemeteries.org/2022/08/ferikoy-protestant-cemetery-istanbul-turkey.html"><b>Feriköy Protestant Cemetery</b></a>. Besides celebrating the holidays, the event showcased the results of a<b> major 2023 preservation project</b>. Supervised by Initiative member The American Research Institute in Turkey (ARIT), with funding from the US Mission to Türkiye as well as a private donor, the conservation work comprised shoring up, realigning, repairing, and cleaning twelve historic tombs in the cemetery’s US section. Several other achievements of 2023 were also celebrated, including the completion of a year-long <b>study of the cemetery’s ecology</b> supported by the British Institute at Ankara and the finalization of <b>monument recording</b> in the cemetery’s German section by interns from Orient-Institut Istanbul (OII).</p>
<p>
Attended by members of foreign diplomatic missions and research centers, students and administrators from Istanbul’s Robert College (RC), and other guests, the event opened with <b>speeches</b> and a <b>music program</b> in the cemetery’s chapel, continued with a <b>tour of the renovation area</b>, and ended with a <b>reception</b>, which included the cutting of an “Initiative cake.” </p>
<p>
Robert College also held a <b>memorial ceremony</b> beside four of the newly restored tombs that commemorate family members of the school's founder, Cyrus Hamlin. A new RC memorial plaque on the wall behind the tombs was also unveiled, along with a newly designed information panel for the cemetery's US section, which serves as a model for further informational signage in the cemetery’s other international sections. <b>Prototype <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sd4Srq2CgKJWLqiekWGXCwOdFh0P9rt2/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">QR codes</a></b> for two of the renovated monuments were also highlighted as a method for providing details about those that the tombs commemorate. </p>
<p>
This event marked the <b>five-year anniversary of the Initiative</b> and its efforts for the Feriköy Protestant Cemetery. Among its many activities, the Initiative has mapped the cemetery; recorded and renovated its monuments; studied its ecology; publicized its history; catalogued and digitized its archive; and created new rules and procedures to improve its administration. “PCI”—professionalism in all its endeavors, cooperation among its members and with the cemetery’s governing board and the public, and involvement in all aspects of the site—is the hallmark of the Protestant Cemetery Initiative, both for the last half decade and for the future.</p>

<div class="shortContent">At the end of October 2023, the second event of the "Quo Vadis Fundamentum" took place at the Eastern Cemetery in Innsbruck, Austria.</div>
<div class="mainContent">
<h4>Memorial evening for Charlie Chaplin</h4>
<p>
The <b>"Quo Vadis Fundamentum"</b> initiative started in 2022 with the aim to commemorate special individuals, who made significant contributions to humanity, with memorial evenings at the <a href="https://www.significantcemeteries.org/2014/12/eastern-cemetery-innsbruck-austria.html">Eastern Cemetery</a> in Innsbruck.</p><p>
Last year, on the 80th anniversary of <b>Edith Stein</b>'s death, a <a href="https://www.significantcemeteries.org/2022/11/memorial-evenings-at-eastern-cemetery.html">concert and reading</a> were held to commemorate her life and work. The reading was performed by the actress Bernadette Abendstein.</p><p>This year, the focus was on <b>Charlie Chaplin</b>, who was also presented through texts and enchanting music. The reading was performed by the actor Hakon Hirzenberger. The event was truly special and <b>over 30 people</b> took part in it.</p><p>The presentations alternate each year, with a woman reading about a woman one year, and a man reading about a man the next. So, next year, Bernadette Abendstein will read about a woman, who will soon be chosen by her.</p>

<p><b>From 9 to 11 November 2023</b>, an <b>international congress</b> on the topic <b>“Heritage, a shared responsibility”</b> took place in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The event was organised by
Hispania Nostra, part of Europa Nostra.</p>
<p>
Under the slogan “Patrimonio somos todos” (“We are all heritage”), this congress sought to
reflect on the <b>protection and knowledge of cultural heritage</b>. It focused on how cultural heritage
can be used in a search for diversity and multiculturalism, a defence of democracy, a place of
collective memory and personal reflection, and a defence of fundamental rights. Debates about these objectives were tied to the <b>use of new technologies</b>, and the importance of <b>including the general public</b> in the maintenance of cultural heritage.</p></div>

<p>
The representative of Cementiris de Barcelona, <b>Adrià Terol</b>, participated in a debate with the
<b>President of ICOMS Argentina</b>, the <b>General Secretary of AEPJ</b> and the <b>General Director of
Cultura for the OEI</b>. The debate focused on how European culture routes can be a source of
social and economic development, as well as their effects on civil society.</p><p>
Our spokesperson’s role was to represent the <a href="https://cemeteriesroute.eu/european-cemeteries-route.aspx"><b>European Cemeteries Route</b></a>, part of the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe. With <b>Barcelona Cemeteries</b> as an example of how cemeteries
are a part of a city’s heritage, Terol explained what activities are put on offer to the public or to
research and education institutions, and how these activities help to create a better dialogue
between cemeteries and the heritage they hold and the general public. There was also a focus
on links to Ibero-american heritage routes, and how <b>Ibero-american and European heritage</b> tie
into one another.
</p><p>
The congress was a good way to present our work, at both a <b>local and international level</b>, to a
wider public, and to gain new contacts. The congress was covered by various media outlets.

<div class="shortContent">We are proud to announce that our member, Friends of Flaybrick, has been awarded the King’s Award for Voluntary Service.</div>
<div class="mainContent">
<h4>About the award</h4>
<p>The King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS) is the <b>highest award given to volunteer groups</b> across the United Kingdom. The award recognizes outstanding work done by volunteer groups in their communities and it is the equivalent to an MBE.</p><p>Further information about the award can be found at <a href="https://kavs.dcms.gov.uk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://kavs.dcms.gov.uk</a>.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Friends of Flaybrick</h4><p>
The Friends of Flaybrick charity was <b>established in 1993 by John Moffat</b>, who today works as secretary of the
group, with the intent of bringing Flaybrick back into the community. The members and
volunteers have worked hard since then to achieve that aim, despite occasional setbacks, which only make them more determined to succeed.
</p><p>Their <b>Chair, Rob Dolphin</b>, said <i>"We are such a wonderful hard working group with a range of skills
and abilities which suit the tasks we undertake and it is my great joy and honour to accept the
award on behalf of our charity. This gives true recognition to all members and volunteers,
both past and present."
</i></p><p>
Upon receiving the award, they would like to express their thanks to <b>Lord Field of Birkenhead</b> who kindly
sponsored the award bid, and also <b>Councillor George Davies</b>, former Mayor of Wirral and
<b>Elizabeth Davey</b>, the prominent local historian, for their wonderful letters of endorsement.
The group would also like to take the opportunity to express their thanks to the <b>people of
Wirral and beyond</b> who support them in all weathers and attend their guided walks, Services of Remembrance and open days in great numbers.</p><p><br /><br /><br /><br /><i>*Photo source: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FlaybrickFriends/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/FlaybrickFriends/</a>.

<h4>About the Peace Tree Project</h4>
<p> The ASCE Peace Tree Project aims to encourage ASCE members to <b>plant a tree</b> at their cemeteries as a symbolic reminder of the <b>importance of peace</b>, not only after death but also during life.

This Halloween, the historic Newton Road Cemetery in Rushden, England, became
the stage of an original event that blended slow tourism with an educational
note.

<p>
In October 2023, <b>Friends of Newtown Road Cemetery</b> linked up with
<b>City Arts</b>, a community art centre, based in an old Wesleyan
Missionary Chapel, to organise a <b>unique Halloween event</b> like no
other.
</p>
<p>
The purpose of the event was to <b>celebrate Samhain</b>. Samhain (a
Gaelic word pronounced ‘sow-win’) is a <b>Celtic ceremony</b> marking the
transition from light to dark as the year unfolds and it is the precursor of
Halloween.
</p>
<p>
With a total of <b>eight executed performances </b>over three
nights, the event proved to be a great success, leaving participants
with lasting memories and a newfound appreciation for the
stories embedded in Newton Road Cemetery. The participation fee was £10
per person.
</p>
<p>
<b>Three different "ghosts"</b> appeared in the event's performances - all
based on real people buried near the ceremonial space (a motor mechanic, a
female parish visitor and a wine merchant/Freemason).
</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Event program</h4>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZlEqFd2CquvmkP03lepijM7GnARkXnloLqv5dBw_W3zKWoyp0TAvLQ0ltvbxKIQNuVukjMBbhqT17ylqtHOQ_RayZSZsvllYZL5PAkAL6im02VKQghjCb1eJliKTJdIs81_-kz_9JpEWywhhV3prNmQqrxG_Pborv56VbZvXRc-F5uWTkenF4ODBD5tW0/s2000/sam%20stubbs.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Sexton" border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZlEqFd2CquvmkP03lepijM7GnARkXnloLqv5dBw_W3zKWoyp0TAvLQ0ltvbxKIQNuVukjMBbhqT17ylqtHOQ_RayZSZsvllYZL5PAkAL6im02VKQghjCb1eJliKTJdIs81_-kz_9JpEWywhhV3prNmQqrxG_Pborv56VbZvXRc-F5uWTkenF4ODBD5tW0/w240-h320/sam%20stubbs.jpg" title="Sexton" width="240" /></a>
<p>
Participants started by doing crafts, mostly decorating small skulls, before
encountering the <b>Great Memergiser </b>(downstairs). He explained
their tasks for the evening. They had to follow three alleys towards the
local cemetery. On the way, they would meet<b> three wise women</b> who
would give them items to carry and information to remember.
</p>
<p>
Two volunteers shepherded the group along the alleys. The
<b>"Maiden"</b> gave each person a sprig of <b>rosemary</b> (for
remembrance). Then to acquire energy they had to touch green on green. They
used the rosemary to swipe any overhanging branches. The
<b>"Mother"</b> gave them each a <b>red candle</b>. As they walked along the
outside high wall of the cemetery, they could hear a drum beating, sticks
snapping, whining noise, and screams. Then, the <b>"Crone"</b> gave
each person a <b>black stone</b> decorated with a rune, took them to
the cemetery gate and called out "<i>Is anybody there?</i>”. The
<b>cemetery sexton</b> appeared, opened the gates, and told the group to
follow him/her. As they walked along, they were told to touch iron to
increase their strength. Many of the graves have iron railings around so it
was easy to complete that task.
</p>
<p>
Eventually they reached the ceremonial space where the
<b>Great Memergiser</b> appeared. First, he asked them to crush the
rosemary and smell it, then drop it to the ground and stamp on it. Then
they all lit their candle, still holding it. He asked what they had been
told by the Wise Women, who might be memergised. Then they held their
stone and <b>started chanting</b>. The chant, as it got faster, became
<i>"We Remember Them"</i>.
</p>

<p>
At this point they had turned around and were
<b>facing the Chapel</b> which was in darkness. Inside there were disco
smoke machines with coloured lights. The doors of the Chapel slowly
opened, the smoke billowed out and through the smoke walked the
<b>"ghost"</b>. The ghost thanked them for memergising him/her. Said a
little about what they were going to do with this opportunity and walked
away.
</p>
<p>
The group was then led towards the Chapel. As they reached it, the lights
were switched on and they came inside. Warm spiced apple juice awaited them
and the <b>Magister</b> who asked them to look at some
<b>19th century photos</b> (CDVs) to see if they could spot the ghost they
had seen. Of course, they couldn’t, despite all the photos being taken by
professional photographers in Newbury. No-one had bothered to write on the
photos who each person was.
</p>
<p>
The participants could also <b>match the design of the rune</b> on the stone
to see what its meaning was.</p>
<h4>Educational messages</h4>
<p style="text-align: left;">
There were two messages to take away from this event. First, the
<b>importance of remembering</b> those who had died every year in some way
(flowers, visiting graves, looking at letters, photos, talking about them).
And second, taking time to <b>print off photos</b> and then
<b>writing who each person was</b> on the back. A good winter evening
project.
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
Note: <b>"Memergise"</b> is a word that Ros Clow, one of the organizers of
the event, made up for a Halloween story in 2017. The word communicates that
remembering someone gives us the energy to walk around the cemetery on
Halloween and talk with anyone we meet, ghost or not.

<div class="shortContent">
The Križevci city cemetery was officially founded in 1902, while the first burials in this place date back to 1898. </div>
<div class="mainContent">
<h4>About the cemetery</h4>
<p>
The Križevci city cemetery consists of two parts. The area of 36.330 m2 relates to the <b>“Old Cemetery” </b>which was planned and designed by <b>architect Stjepan Podhorsky in 1916</b>. The area of 35.000 m2 relates to the <b>“New Cemetery” </b>which was planned and designed by <b>Vesna Makovec in 2013</b>. Architects and landscape designers are not famous people in world sense, but they are well known in the city of Križevci and Croatia.
</p><p>
The <b>entrance</b> to the cemetery is dominated by the <b>Chapel of St. Roch</b> and there are many <b>graves of monuments</b> that have been <b>preserved in their original form</b>. The landscape is carefully designed and regularly maintained. It includes <b>centuries-old conifers and other plants</b> that cover approximately 20.000 m2 of the cemetery area.</p><p>
In the <b>Jewish part</b> of Križevci city cemetery the <b>construction of arcades began around 1910</b>. Since the archives of the City of Križevci, in the period from 1860 to 1945, were destroyed after World War II, it is impossible to determine with certainty the author of the project, the contractor, or the time of construction of the arcades. Nevertheless, the construction project is attributed to the famous Croatian <b>architect Stjepan Podhorski</b>, who at the time was working on two other important projects in Križevci: the restoration of the church of St. Cross and construction of the Croatian National House building. There are a total of <b>eight arcades</b> in Jewish Arcades with <b>one tomb in each of the arcades</b>.
</p>
<h4>Important graves and monuments</h4>
<p>
There are many important people buried at the Križevci city cemetery. Some of them are:</p><ul><li><b>

<h4>About the cemetery</h4>
<p>
Marine graveyard in Pula is <b>one of the largest military cemeteries in Europe.</b> It was <b>opened in 1862</b> under its full name K. u. k. Marinefriedhof (Empire and Royal Marine Graveyard), when the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Navy acquired 4.000 m2 of land to use for the burial of military servicemen.
</p>

<p>
Until 1870, the deceased were buried in groups. This practice consequently got changed for hygienic reasons and the burials started in individual tombs. Over time the Marine graveyard expanded, and until today about <b>100.000 people</b> have been buried on its <b>22.000 m2</b>.
</p><p>
During <b>World War I</b>, many victims of war were buried at this cemetery. These were primarily the officers and soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Later on, soldiers serving in other armies were also buried there. During <b>World War II</b>, burial of war victims continued.
</p><p>
By the decision from <b>October 27, 1960</b>, the Cemetery has been <b>declared a Memorial site</b>. From then on, <b>no new burials</b> have been conducted.
</p>
<p>
Today, the Marine graveyard in Pula houses commemorative marks of Austro-Hungarian soldiers from WWI, Italian and German soldiers from WWII, and the memorial dedicated to National Liberation Struggle fighters and victims fallen in WWII. Considering its importance, the <b>renovation of the cemetery started in the 1990s</b>. After the renovation was completed, the Marine graveyard was listed as one of the <b>monuments protected under the Hague Convention</b>.</p>

<div class="shortContent">
El Salvador Church and Cemetery is located in the upper part of Villaluenga del Rosario, the littlest village of the Province of Cádiz (Spain).</div>
<div class="mainContent">
<h4>About the cemetery</h4>
<p>El Salvador Cemetery is an <b>ancient church</b> of
Villaluenga del Rosario that was <b>burned by the Napoleonic army</b> between 1809-1814. In
Villaluenga there is even a proverb that says: <i>“Villaluenga del Rosario no quiso capitular y llegaron
los Franceses y quemaron el lugar.”</i></p><p>
The people of Villaluenga were courageous and they refused to bow down to the Napoleonic army.
They showed that there isn't an obstacle that can knock them down. So, they
found another function for the church and <b>converted it into a cemetery.</b> They used every
part of the church to build niches and now it can be seen in the irregular distribution of the walls.
During their visit to the cemetery, people are still inside the ancient church, as its ancient tower,
walls and the skeleton of the vault are still preserved.</p><p>
The <b>exact date</b> in which El Salvador Church and Cemetery was built is <b>still unknown</b>. On the
tower of the church, we can see some tiles engraved in 1722, the year of the restoration of this
part of the church, so it would be built rather before.</p><p>
In the cemetery, we can also find a <b>mausoleum</b> where the illustrious <b>poet Pedro Pérez-Clotet</b> was buried in 1966. Pérez-Clotet belongs to the Spanish 27th Generation

<p>In 1840, <b>Mr. Henry and Mrs. Elizabeth Stisted</b> obtained permission by the Prince of Lucca, Carlo Lodovico di Borbone Parma, to build a Church and a Cemetery of Anglican rite for the British community resident in Bagni di Lucca.
</p><p>
This small cemetery <b>opened in 1842</b>. It was divided into 46 spaces of first class, 260 of second class and 84 of third class. For children were projected 25 spaces of second class and 12 of third. The <b>original plan is still quite recognizable</b> in its essential forms. Immediately after the gate of entrance a short flight of steps leads to the central path, that slightly uphill, reaches the Chapel for the funerals. About at two thirds of the way to the chapel another path crosses the middle one to form a Christian cross. The semicircular paths that started from the height of the stairs are no longer visible. They connected to the paths which went through the walls, and from which started little paths to access to individual graves.

<p>
There are <b>139 people buried</b> in the cemetery whose names can all be obtained from documents now preserved in the Historical Archives of the Municipality, but some also from the tombstones. Many graves are no longer visible. Not all those who are buried here died in Bagni di Lucca but were buried here or for their expressed will or on the recommendation of relatives or friends. This shows that the English community of Bagni di Lucca, with its church and its cemetery of Anglican cult, was a sure reference for the English who lived in nearby towns such as Lucca, Pisa, Livorno, but also in Rome and abroad. Among them there are scientists, men of letters, musicians, doctors, priests, chaplains, botanists, entomologists, and professors. In addition to the English, Poles, Russians, Swedes, French, and Americans are also buried here. The <b>latest burial dates back to 1953</b>, the year of final closure of the cemetery.</p><p>
The Anglican Cemetery of Bagni di Lucca was abandoned for many years, but since 2012, <b>significant interventions have been made</b> to restore dignity to this place rich in historical and artistic memories. Today, the cemetery is <b>under the constraint of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage</b> and Activities pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 42/2004 -New Cultural Heritage Code. The Church, an austere building by architect Giuseppe Pardini from Lucca, now houses the <b>Municipal Library</b> and is a <b>cultural centre.</b></p><h4>Events and activities at the cemetery</h4>

<p>Each year, at the end of the renovation programmed for that period, usually in the first week of
September, the <b>restored monuments are presented to the public</b> as part of a special day that
takes place in the cemetery. On the occasion and to accompany the ceremony itself, a <b>small
musical concert</b> is held in the cemetery. Over the years, string
quartets, ensembles of cellos, saxophones, accordion and brass quintets and choirs have taken
turns.</p><p>Bagni di Lucca, today as in the past, is also a popular destination for national and international tourism. <b>Italian and foreign visitors</b> are attracted by
the <b>beauty of the landscape</b>, but also, and perhaps above all, by the fame that its <b>thermal
springs</b> have enjoyed since the 12th century. Illustrious <b>personalities of European culture</b> have
visited this valley and left traces of their impressions in their poetic works and diaries. First and
foremost, the great French thinker Michel de Montaigne, who spent 75 days here in the summer
of 1581 in attempt to cure the kidney stones from which he was afflicted. He left a record of
his stay in his travel diary. Today, foreign tourists follow in the footsteps of their compatriots.</p></div>

The graves selected for renovation have no legal owners, hence a public collection is the only way to ensure their <b>preservation for the future generations.</b></p></div>

<p>
Major <b>renovation work</b> has commenced in the <a href="https://www.significantcemeteries.org/2011/11/old-cemetery-of-podgorze-cmentarz.html">Old Podgorze Cemetery</a> in Krakow, the oldest cemetery in the city. </p><p>The plans include renovation of walls, gate and pavement of alleyways. New lighting will also be introduced. Remains of the old graves will be preserved in the form of a lapidarium. Project also includes replacing of over fifty poor quality gravestones placed in the cemetery in the 1970s, with new ones, created according to the old designs. Furthermore, several graves destroyed last summer by collapsing trees will be restored to their former glory. </p><p>The <b>renovation should be completed by 2026</b> at a total cost of nearly one million euro. It is funded by Civic Committee for the Restoration of Krakow Heritage and the Municipality of Krakow.

<div class="shortContent">Introductory thoughts of ASCE president, Mrs Lidija Pliberšek, at the beginning of a new 4-year mandate.</div>
<div class="mainContent">
<p>Dear members, partners, and supporters of ASCE,</p>
<p>I am extremely <b>proud and grateful</b> that, at this year's <a href="https://www.significantcemeteries.org/2023/03/agm-2023-location-and-program.html">elections in Mantua</a>, Italy, I was given the opportunity to <b>continue the presidency</b> of the Association of Significant Cemeteries in Europe. The trust you have placed in me fills me with immense gratitude. It is a trust I do not take lightly, and I pledge to proceed serving our shared mission with persistent devotion.</p><p><a href="https://www.significantcemeteries.org/search/label/ASCE20">Twenty years ago</a>, we embarked on a journey that was then relatively unknown. United with the
same goal - the <b>protection and promotion of the cultural heritage resting within European
cemeteries</b> - we started with just seven founding members. Today, with immense pride, I can say
that we have grown into an organization with <b>180 members</b>, a result of the hard work, dedication,
and passion of each individual member. Our journey has been long but astonishingly successful.
</p><p>
The development our organization has experienced during this period has been remarkable. We
established a <b>clear vision and strategy</b> that has been honed and perfected over the years. One of the
key changes we have achieved is the<b> professional administrative management</b> of the organization
and the <b>digitization of our processes</b>. We realized that in order to succeed and grow, it was essential
to keep pace with the trends of the digital age. Today, we can proudly boast of the professional and
digital support that enables members to actively participate in projects and contribute to our
common goal.
</p><p>
Throughout, we have strived to <b>strengthen the relationship between the presidency and the
members</b>. In the past, many of us pondered what ASCE could offer them. Today, we have reached a
point where our members are empowered. They no longer ask what the organization can do for
them but instead question what they can do for ASCE shared mission.</p><p>Our <b>passion and dedication</b> have led us to a moment where we can leverage this recognition to make
our broader environment and institutions contemplate what they can do to assist and collaborate
with us in preserving and showcasing the cultural heritage of European cemeteries. It is crucial for
significant <b>institutions, ministries, institutes</b>, and others to integrate our mission into their
operations. Our organization is prepared for this challenge, and with great optimism, I believe that
together, we will fulfil our mission in the best possible way.</p><p>So, <b>thank you</b> for being part of this exceptional
community. Thank you for your trust, dedication, and unwavering belief in what we do. May the next four years leave another <b>important mark in the story of ASCE.</b></p></div><p>
Lidija Pliberšek, M. Sc.<br />
ASCE president
