Not everyone visits the graves of their loved ones. "They just think about them"

A survey reveals that only one in three Belgians regularly visits cemeteries to remember loved ones, while 77% keep their memory alive by thinking about them. Many respondents desire changes in cemetery designs, advocating for more green spaces and smaller gravestones. Additionally, 17% believe cemeteries should accommodate communal mourning events. Lien Verfaillie from DELA emphasizes the need for cemeteries to evolve beyond mere grave sites, suggesting that more greenery and child-friendly areas could enhance the experience of remembrance.
