The new facility, built next to the parish church, was inaugurated with the presence of institutional figures such as Mário Passos, Mayor of Famalicão, Augusto Lima, Councillor for Parishes, Manuel Serafim, President of the Parish Council, and parish priest Avelino Mendes.
The municipal investment covered the building's structure, wall and floor finishes, interior carpentry, sanitary equipment, and exterior landscaping, totaling 230,000 euros. The objective is to ensure adequate conditions for farewell moments.
“"Mortuaries are fundamental for providing adequate conditions for these moments of farewell, and we want all 49 parish communities to have this facility. It is important to ensure dignity in all phases of our lives."
Manuel Serafim, President of the Parish Council, shared the view on the facility's importance, thanking everyone involved in the project, which had been "long desired" by the community.
The intervention aimed to create a space offering comfort, functionality, and dignity, addressing a need felt by the parish's families during moments of particular significance.
