The new Tranquility Park Cemetery at Tomlinson\u2019s is expected to be ready for burials within three weeks, provided the weather cooperates and no logistical issues arise. Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph highlighted the urgency due to the dwindling space at St. John\u2019s Public Cemetery and others across the community.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are under severe pressure with burial sites running out in Antigua and Barbuda. Heavy rains delayed our initial timeline, but with favorable conditions, we anticipate opening in two to three weeks,\u201d Joseph stated in a state media interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Works Ministry is working diligently to ensure the cemetery’s readiness. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The 20-acre site will be meticulously organized to optimize space, avoiding the overcrowded appearance of the current St. John\u2019s Cemetery.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re implementing regulations on grave sizes and spacing, and considering adjustments due to limited space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology will play a key role in precisely locating graves, with GPS and software to help families find their loved ones easily,\u201d Joseph explained.<\/p>
