The owners of small shops and stalls in front of necropolises do not have the opportunity to compete with supermarkets that offer a huge increase on candles, bouquets and flowers in pots. However, they don’t even try to encourage customers to choose to buy from them. Prices at cemeteries are almost always higher than in supermarkets, but what happens before All Saints Day is beyond anyone’s understanding. Two weeks before November 1, we went to the Junikowski cemetery in Poznań. We researched the prices of candles, flowers and bouquets. Today (October 31), after just two weeks, many of these prices are no longer valid. Some of them are absurdly high.
Things that could stand longer and not decay, including: conifer branches and heather, the price did not go up. Just like candles, and the prices are the same as two weeks ago. However, it is clear that the most popular ones are more expensive. On October 16, chrysanthemums cost PLN 5-6. Now they cost PLN 12-14. That’s twice as much! Blooming flowers in a large pot now cost around PLN 50 instead of PLN 30. There is also a huge increase in the prices of artificial bouquets, which are popular because of their durability. One that cost PLN 45 two weeks ago now costs PLN 70, and at some stalls even PLN 95!
People are tired of prices at centers in front of cemeteries
“Fakt” spoke to people who came to the Juników cemetery. They admit the prices are too much.
I don’t buy flowers in front of the cemetery because the prices are reasonable. It is usually more expensive than in supermarkets or markets, and now prices are even higher
– says Mrs. Bernadette.
This is just a rip-off and just not good. I paid PLN 80 for such a small headgear
– Mrs. Elżbieta complains.
They are narrated by women Beata and Natalia. – It is more expensive every year. I shop elsewhere, because, for example, I paid PLN 45 for this large decorative candle. The same one costs PLN 68 here! – said one of them. – It is better to spend money on fuel and buy these things cheaper. The situation is worse for old people who cannot come to the cemetery with nets with candles and flowers and have to buy them here – add the second one.
