All Saints’ Day and Day of the Dead is a very important event every year. At this time, families travel to pay their respects at the graves of their deceased loved ones. On behalf of the local government, Dunakeszi Közüzemi Nonprofit Kft. prepares the cemetery and its surroundings for these few days, and extends the opening hours.
Walking around the city, we can see that feverish work is going on in the public flower beds, the Municipality of Dunakeszi City has started winterizing them, planting cold-tolerant flowers. Esther Tóth, Dunakeszi’s head gardener said, the annual flowers had already started to be picked out of the public beds in order to prepare the ground for the pansies, ornamental cabbages, chrysanthemums and heathers. “We started rearranging the plants early because it was the mayor’s express request that the city be beautiful by the Day of the Dead period, that there should be no empty flower beds,” explained the head gardener.
Beautification and development are also planned within the cemetery. Csaba Dióssi the mayor revealed that the previously awarded tender for the renovation of the funeral home will soon be launched, and the public procurement procedure is currently underway. Once this is completed, the funeral home will have a new exterior and interior, the windows and doors will be replaced, and the energy reconstruction will not be left behind.
A Dunakeszi City Cemetery as in previous years until November 15, it is open to visitors between 07:00 and 20:00 every day of the week.
After November 16 switch to winter opening hours, The cemetery can be visited from 08:00 to 17:00.
For the holiday season the cemetery office is also being prepared It is open between October 21 and November 2 (also on weekends) from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
In addition to the opening hours, the municipality also facilitates accessibility. In addition to the main entrance, the cemetery will also be open from the Alagliget housing estate between October 28 and November 5, so you can also enter the area from the back road (Brunszvik Street).
In the meantime, the Alagligeti bypass was built, but the Óalagi Cemetery can still be visited undisturbed. The municipality plans this time as well, as in the XII. During Dunakeszi Fest, that due to the expected heavy traffic, the Alagligeti bypass will be temporarily reopened on November 1st. Driving down from here, parking lots were built at the Óalagi Cemetery and the maintainer also opened two pedestrian gates.
In order to ensure the tranquility of the burial sites and due to the increased number of visitors, the maintainers only allow a limited number of visitors to the cemetery by car. This option is primarily available to people with reduced mobility and the elderly during opening hours. In order to ensure a safe visit to the cemetery and the smooth flow of traffic, the police and members of the civil guard provide a reinforced law enforcement service in the cemetery.
On November 1, the Saturday schedule will be in effect, flight 5 departs every hour from 06.10 to 20.40 from the terminus of the Dunakeszi Railway Station.
