All are equal before the Almighty, which cannot be said about people who live and die on a sinful earth. While the soul of the deceased servant of God wanders through places dear to her, relatives and friends have to solve quite material issues related to the funeral. If they have a desire to bury in a cemetery that is considered prestigious, then great difficulties can arise.
Each year, new graves in Moscow alone require two dozen hectares of area, and this objective figure does not need comment.
New Approaches to Eternal Issues
In order to create conditions for the burial of the dead, in 1999 Perepechinsky cemetery was founded. For a decade and a half, it has become one of the largest in the capital, its area has long exceeded one hundred hectares, and in the near future they are going to increase it by a quarter. Serves him State Unitary Enterprise "Ritual".
Since this mournful place was designed recently, and historical realities did not dominate the plan, its entire infrastructure was worked out with the utmost care so that visitors who are already struggling to create the greatest amenities. The technical support of the plots includes a drainage, irrigation and irrigation system. Landscaping is also thought out, because nothing upsets the mourners as much as a form of neglect expressing the business indifference so characteristic of such "enterprises" of previous decades. The Holy Perepechinsky cemetery compares favorably with beautiful flowerbeds, discounts, a rose garden, Alpine slides and other elements that can be collectively defined by the word "beautification".
Architectural approach
The architect A. I. Laptev commissioned the State Unitary Enterprise “Ritual” to create a project for a war memorial located at the main entrance on the right side with a monument to the Unknown Soldier. There is also a place of farewell, equipped with a roof in case of bad weather.
The developed and thought-out scheme of the Perepechinsky cemetery takes into account the multi-confessional nature of Russian society. There is a site intended for the burial of the deceased, professing Islam, and all conditions for the worship of Muslims are created.
Spaso-Perepechinsky cemetery differs from others also in that it provides free burial places, you only need to pay for the work of diggers.
Caring for the Mourners
In recent years, the practice of cremation has spread, which undoubtedly preserves the areas that the Moscow City Hall is given so hard. For the burial of urns with ashes, special areas have been allocated.
In recent years, the Perepechinsky cemetery has become the main burial place of Muscovites, and its administration is sensitive to the needs of the mourners. Free inventory is provided, which is necessary for independently carried out landscaping and landscaping of graves.
Other infrastructure issues were resolved, in particular the transport problem. Mourners do not need to think about how to get to Perepechinsky cemetery, the 905th minibus regularly goes from Planernaya metro station, and the 35th bus delivers passengers from Skhodnya. You can also get to Lobny, from there bus number 52 will take you. On the memorial days, additional routes are organized.
