Farewell to foundation board Public Cemetery Old Lands

This is an old post.

"Oude Landen Public Cemetery, the most beautiful cemetery in the Netherlands," the literal words of a funeral director who regularly handles burials in Nuenen.

Thanks to volunteers

Over the past 10 years, the cemetery has grown into a beautiful place where burials can take place from various faiths. All this is mainly due to a few volunteers: Gerrit Aquina, Harrie van Gastel and Sjaak Coolen from Nuenen, whose professional approach has shaped the cemetery and organization around it. They form the foundation board until July 1, 2021. A task that has been performed with great commitment for many years.

Recognizable for performance of duties

The current foundation board indicated some time ago that they will cease their duties. They want to enjoy everything life has to offer without further obligations as of July 1, 2021. Gemeente Nuenen is very grateful to the board for the tasks they have performed.

New foundation board

On June 29, 2021, the "official" transfer took place at the town hall where the new foundation board that will take over the tasks was also present. At this, Alderman Pernot and Mayor Houben thanked the board members for the hard work they have done for the cemetery.
