Lack of Burial Ground in Mestia
There is currently no new cemetery in
Mestia and there isn’t any more burial ground available in the old
cemetery. The local citizens are asking for more land.
The existing cemetery that has been used for seven family generations should have been abolished a long time ago. The cemetery is situated in the center of Mestia, around the St. George Monastry area. There are no more burial plots. People have to dig into the ground and remove preexisting bones in order to bury the dead. Then they collect the bones and bury them again.
