Cemeteries Sitges

It has an area of ​​1,214 m2 distributed on one floor with four vigil rooms. All vigil rooms have natural light. In addition, it also has a multi-denominational oratory for 144 seated people and a florist service. The cemetery of San Sebastián is, without a doubt, an architectural and sculptural jewel. This is so thanks to many bourgeois families who ascended socially and economically during the nineteenth century. They are the so-called Indians, who returned from America turned into very rich men. These Indian families are responsible for leaving a cemetery with beautiful pantheons, adorned with sculptures by the best artists of the time. In the cemetery of Sant Sebastià we can find works by Llimona, Marés or Vallmitjana, among others. The cemetery is included, due to its artistic and cultural interest, in the European cemetery route. Because it can no longer grow horizontally, the citizens of Sitges have another cemetery, much more modern and equipped with a funeral home and crematorium, on the outskirts of the town: the Cemetery of Les Pruelles.
