No agreement could be reached at the council meeting on Tuesday as to which criteria will be used to calculate the use of grave sites in the future. The local councilors were unable to come to an agreement at the first attempt and will now have to discuss it again in May.
Despite repeated approaches, there has been no increase in cemetery fees since 2019, and a deficit of 176,000 euros has accumulated over the years. The new calculations assume a so-called "grave" rate of 84.91 euros annually, up from 66.50 euros previously. Small urn graves should cost 77.40 euros (54.50%), and tree diggers are cheaper at 88.92 euros (108.50%). The Kubus company was also called in, saying it was familiar with the topic but gave little insight into the modalities of the new fee structure. The municipality of Gilching is considering not using an external company in the future and taking over fee calculations in our administration, the office manager Kerstin Schempp said.
