Greek minister approves Athens cremation facility

Cremations were legalised in Greece in 2006, but the country did not have facilities for them to be carried out.

Environment and Energy Minister George Stathakis signed a decision for the creation of Greece’s first cremation facility.

The ministerial decision paves the way for the construction of a facility in a city-owned plot in Elaionas, west of Athens. A park will surround the facility.

The approval of Athens facilities follows the approval of those of Thessaloniki and Patra.

Once local cremation centres are open and running, the average cost will be around 500 to 600 euros.
