sustainable development
For the people of Dudelange, going « chez Jaak » meant being buried, according to the name of the former cemetery keeper. Today, there are many options besides burial, since cremation became legal in Luxembourg in 1972. The cemeteries reflect these options, as well as the change in mindsets and especially the demographic growth and urban development of Dudelange. This conference shows the different stages, including a little-known episode of Nazi occupation, with the project of a « Parkfriedhof » A Boujel.
