Opening of Cyprus's First Crematorium in 2026
February 21, 2025
The first crematorium in Cyprus is expected to open in the summer of 2026 in Paphos, after 25 years of delays. Discussions on cremation began in 2000 but intensified after the death of Ploutis Servas in 2001. Despite opposition from the Church, the plans progressed, and the new crematorium will offer services for all religious communities. The construction cost is approximately 4 million euros.
