For hundreds of years she was following and patiently absorbing the small jewels of love and painful moments of loss in the destiny of the people of Maribor.

Thus it is only right and correct that she follows them in their last journey, resting and sleeping together with them. Gently bringing new life to the earth from the soil of Pobrežje cemetery.

Accompanied by press, employees and partners of Maribor funeral company (Pogrebno podjetje Maribor), the president of ASCE mrs Lidija Pliberšek helped the vine planting.

While the event was closed for public due to virus spread prevention recommendations, the news abuot this Week of Discovering European Cemeteries was accepted well by press and thus raised lots of publicity in the town and region.

European cemeteries are now richer for another attraction promoting life, stories, nature and cultural heritage.
