A dedication ceremony will take place this week for the new public cemetery – Tranquility Park Cemetery – located on the Sir Sydney Walling Highway.
Minister of Health and Wellness, Sir Molwyn Joseph, has announced that his ministry is working closely with the Ecclesiastical Commission for a formal dedication service to take place at the cemetery on Thursday afternoon at 4:00.
Both the ministries of health and works have combined efforts to bring the new cemetery into operation and to finally bring burials to an end at the public cemetery on Friar’s Hill Road, which has long since reached its carrying capacity.
Sir Molwyn has indicated in the past that the new cemetery will be departure from the way bodies are buried in the past to a more aesthetically pleasing and more dignified manner.
No date has been given regarding how soon actual burials will commence at Tranquility Park Cemetery.
