As of Friday, the security companies that already handle the monitoring will make more visits than before.

- Even though the incidents are not as serious as the one at the North Cemetery in Solna, incidents occur every week. For example, it could be theft, prostitution or receiving, says Dennis Wedin (M)

Want to lock cemeteries at night

Now the church administration will quickly investigate the possibility of closing and locking the larger cemeteries at night. But also see if it is possible to supplement the surveillance with technical solutions such as increased camera surveillance and more lighting, says Dennis Wedin (M), the housing and property council.

Nina Mark and Billan Mark often exercise at Skogskyrkogården. They think it is good with increased surveillance. But both think it will be difficult because the cemetery extends over a large area. Photo: SVT

Increased costs

So far this year, surveillance has cost around SEK 150,000 a month at a total cost of SEK 1.2 million. The increased attendance is estimated to cost an additional SEK 2 million by the end of the year, which will be a doubling compared to today.
