The first crematorium in Stavropol Krai to be completed in 2025

The first crematorium in Stavropol Krai is planned to be completed in 2025. The facility is located in the Kochubeyevsky district, said Minister of Regional Housing and Utilities Alexander Ryabikin.

Now the nearest crematoria to Stavropol are in Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar. The question about the need to build the facility was raised by a subscriber to Governor Vladimir Vladimirov's Telegram channel.

According to StavropolMedia IA, at the end of 20023, the Stavropol authorities wanted to buy a 47-hectare plot for a cemetery at a cost of 121 million rubles. This idea was criticized by residents, who thought that the money would be better spent on the construction of a crematorium.

Earlier "Izvestia" wrote that the international exhibition "Necropolis" was held in Moscow. Participants of the funeral business presented eco-caskets, held competitions of ceremonial masters and thanatopraktsy, organized fashion shows and glorified the "capital of Russian death".
