The Popular Party of Güímar has asked the local government to build a public funeral home in the vicinity of the parish of San Pedro. Carmen Luisa Castro, the spokeswoman for the popular güimareros, believes that public funeral homes are needed before the “monopoly of the large funeral homes”, which has made the town funeral homes as well as the family funeral homes “condemned to disappear”.
The PP points out in a statement that Güímar has with municipal funeral homes in El Escobonal and Fátima. Until a couple of months ago, it also had the San Pedro funeral home, which was a parish church, but with the change in regulations, “the parish was forced to privatize the service, generating two tiny homologated rooms for the downtown area.” “With these types of rooms, the downtown area of Güímar does not provide a good service to citizens,” Castro concludes.
