can you be buried in the town cemetary you use to live so long ago even if you left many many years way back? thanks

I don't see why not. We recently buried my mum in a town she had left over 20 years ago.

May I suggest that you get in touch with Maureen (Mo) Watts. Angel Guardians. Mo is a Funeral director and arranges repatriation of the deceased. We have a funeral plan with her.

Funerals

I had heard that Paphos was to get a crematorium in 2 years time, but I don't know if there's any truth in that. I would prefer to be cremated and taken back to the UK so that the family could "visit" easily. (it's way too far to come to lay flowers). Any new info regarding the building of crematoriums in Cyprus?

This article in the Cyprus mail suggests that it is true.

Crematorium possible in two years - Cyprus Mail

In fact as that article is almost a year old we can hope that it will now be sooner than two years.

Thanks Veronica.
I did see that article and I thought, oh great, that's been one year already. But after reading some other posts, it would seem that things seem to take a bit longer than planned in Cyprus, so I won't hold my breath! Hopefully though, they will be built in the not too distant future. I don't believe that the only "worry" we have about coming out next month to live in Larnaca, is our blooming funerals!! Hahaha! Thanks again Veronica for your reply.

Another thing I have to do on my list.

Glad to hear they have a crem opening in the next few years. I need to arrange funeral plans so will scour this thread for recommendations.

Any companies you would recommend in Peyia?

Hi Veronica

Is there a crematorium operating today?
If not, do you know why there is a delay?
Thanks
Paul

A bill was ed in 2016 making cremation legal in Cyprus but I don't think there is a crematorium yet.
The last I heard a funeral company was trying to raise 2 miliion euors to build one.

I have arranged permament burial in paphos in a Christian plot all in about € 3,000
