At Rusthof there is already the possibility to opt for eternal grave rest. Last year, the municipality approved a decision that makes it possible to take over a piece of land indefinitely. The cost of this is 16 thousand euros. However, few people have used it so far.
This has to do with the fact that the municipality still owns the land. “If the municipality decides not to use the cemetery in decades, the graves will still disappear,” Elkarti explains the fear from the mosques. That is why the SvAM wants to buy land itself. “Then we know for sure that forever is forever.”
It is more than clear tonight that the subject is alive among mosque-goers. The public gallery is packed and dozens of people are still watching the meeting in the hall.
