Death in paradise
« on: February 02, 2015, 21:11:57 PM »
In the event of death in the area, what is the procedure.
Assuming your a resident (or were)
Is Cremation available
Is Burial available
Assuming there's no Coop, are there funeral directors or organisers

Sorry not a cheerful subject , but

No cremation available in the whole of Turkey.

Local burial or repatriation of the body are the 2 options.

Not sure of the exact procedure but it's handled by the Zabita Polis.

Someone will no doubt be able to offer further info on here or will direct you to a link on the forum.

If you go up to the Cemetery at the back of Calis it is quite interesting to see the British and European graves up there.  Good views over Calis too.

O.K. The cemetery is an interesting place to walk up to for us living people and once up there WE LIVING PEOPLE can enjoy the view.   Hope this is now understandable.
However, just thinking about it,  a lot of people like to be laid to rest in a nice place that has a view.  I always remember when my Mother died and my Father was so pleased with the old church and churchyard in our local village up on  a hill with views of the sea.  My Father said to me, he thought my Mother would be content that this was her final resting place.   I agreed with him, he is there with her now and I always feel glad they are in such a lovely place together.  :'(   :)

Ah Jacqui I totally get what you mean and your last post about your mum and dad was lovely  :)
However I did crease up at what Gordon put re the views (not in an unkind way!) and that is a brilliant achievement for me as I do have an irrational fear of the 'd, word >:(

Thanks for the info.
So first point of contact are the police rather than the co op
Burial rather than cremation
Cemetery in Calis at least where Europeans are welcome.
Where do you buy the coffin, or is it handled in the same way as a Muslim burial where the deceased is laid directly into the ground

Great views about the view. Personally I want somewhere nice to haunt.

suehugh.

  If you want to go out on a high there is a cemetery on the left at the start of Ovacik where Expats are buried.

  At that altitude your halfway to HQ.      :)


  And if you want to take a swipe at your relatives stipulate that it is your wish that they walk behind the coffiin up to Ovacik.
