The Albufeira Town Hall said this week that the installation will be built at a cost of 600,000 euros by a private group which will operate the crematorium for a period of 30 years. The move comes as a result of concerns about the capacity of existing cemeteries in one of the Algarve’s most populated cities.
Currently, the closest crematorium to the Algarve is located in Ferreira do Alentejo.
