Burial associations across Sweden are actively searching for land to ensure they can accommodate thousands of burials, hoping to never have to use it. This initiative is rooted in recent crisis preparedness recommendations from the Church of Sweden's national secretariat, aligning with the guidelines from the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency and military authorities. The urgency of this effort reflects heightened security concerns following Sweden's NATO membership and escalating tensions with Russia in the Baltic Sea.
With the changing geopolitical landscape, burial associations in Sweden are preparing for a worst-case scenario: the need for mass burials in the event of war. The Church of Sweden's guidelines, combined with the recommendations from the country’s civil contingencies and defense sectors, underscore the seriousness of these preparations. The ongoing situation with Russia has prompted a reevaluation of national security protocols, leading to the decision for proactive measures in unforeseen circumstances.
