On 27 October, 1 and 3 November, the 107 service (follows a route inside the cemetery) will also be stepped up, while on 1 November itself a special shuttle bus will be operating between Pl.

To avoid crowding and ensure a more measured visit, Cementiris de Barcelona advise people to plan their visit in advance, to check maps and the locator tool for the deceased, available on their website.

New spaces for ashes

The cemeteries in Horta and Sarrià have new spaces for ashes, in addition to the existing ones in the cemeteries of Collserola, Montjuïc and Sant Andreu, with more to be added progressively at the rest of the city’s cemeteries.

Special events

The cemetery in Sarrià will be offering a first-ever night-time tour on 1 November to introduce one of the city’s least known funerary sites. The Funeral Carriage Collection at Montjuïc Cemetery will be open from 10 am to 2 pm on 1 November. There’s also a chance to visit the exhibition of Mexican catrinas loaned by MEXCAT, at the cemetery in Poblenou.

The same cemetery will also be hosting a concert making the 150^th anniversary of the death of Anselm Clavé, on 1 November at 11.30 am.
