Addressing a press conference, health minister and deputy prime minister Chris Fearne announced that following the election, the license for crematorium will be issued if Labour are voted into government.
Crematorium services were allowed in Malta after the relevant law came into affect back in 2019 as spearheaded by Rosianne Cutajar. Malta had not allowed any form of human cremation beforehand despite repeated calls for alternatives to traditional burial.
This new law and, by extension, the license, will introduce a new alternative to burial but also allow people flexibility to decide what to do with the ashes.
Taking to Facebook, Cutajar expressed the satisfaction towards the announcement that following the election, the Labour Party will be issuing the fist licence to officially establish the first crematorium in Malta.
