Summary
Sweden’s burial associations are seeking land to prepare for potential mass wartime burials, prompting new crisis readiness guidelines following the country’s decision to join NATO amid rising tensions with Russia.
In Gothenburg, officials aim to acquire 10 acres for emergency burials and 15 acres for regular cemetery use.
Sweden’s neutrality ended after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, prompting civil defense measures and NATO membership.
This kind of misses a major point. In countries like the Netherlands or Germany the majority of people get cremated. No skeletalization, no bones, no leftovers. The urns are made from a material that dissolves fully within the rental period for the grave, so there is no collectible remains left by the time someone else is put in the same grave.
