The cemeteries of Zwevegem contain numerous grave monuments of significant historical, cultural, or local value. Following recent renewals of concessions, many of these graves are coming back into focus.
To protect this valuable heritage, the Funerary Heritage working group has been established. This group will focus on cataloging important monuments, clarifying inscriptions where necessary, and photographing the graves. The collected information will form the basis for future advice on the preservation and management of Zwevegem's funerary heritage.
Anyone interested in local history, heritage, or genealogy is encouraged to contribute to preserving this unique piece of Zwevegem's history. The working group is specifically seeking individuals willing to help safeguard this valuable heritage for future generations.
Interested individuals can contact the Civic Affairs Department or the Culture Department for more information or to register their interest. Together, we can preserve the stories of the past for the generations of tomorrow.
