Greeks Come to Bulgaria for Cremations

Society | February 8, 2007, Thursday // 00:00

Greek citizens have started visiting Bulgaria not for tourism but to cremate their relatives, Ta Nea newspaper reported.

Greeks chose Bulgaria because the service in the country is very easy and cheaper compared to other countries.

The other reason is that despite the Greek government allowing cremations last year, the Church refuses to execute this burial ceremony. More and more people choose to be cremated, but there is not a single crematory in Greece.

There are several crematories, working for over 25 years now.
