Why are paths at the cemetery being removed and deceased people being buried on them? People are being deprived of paths, benches by graves are being removed... Then people are buried on those paths. And to do that, they trample on other graves. How are elderly, ill and disabled people supposed to reach their loved ones’ graves if there are no paths?
“We have not removed any path,” says Dariusz Filistyński, head of the MZGK Municipal Cemetery in Bolesławiec. He explains that, in response to numerous requests from residents who wanted their loved ones to be buried in the old part of the cemetery, where the graves of other relatives are located, cemetery employees are making use of vacant spaces alongside the paths. “If it is possible to shorten a path by one metre, we do so,” adds D. Filistyński. “That is why it may seem that a path has been removed, but it remains; there are simply new graves on both sides of it.
