The funeral is carried out both in traditional form and through the burial of the urn with ashes to the ground.
At the National Military Memorial Cemetery (NVMK), 108 burials of Ukrainian defenders took place in the first month from the opening. Among them were 97 Ukraine defenders, whose names were unknown, and 11 defenders, whose families turned to a state institution with a request to fulfill the last will and bury them in this area. This has been reported to the Ministry of Veterans, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
It is noted that the names of the 11 buried are engraved on temporary tombs, and in the future they will be immortalized to the Memorial Wall of Memory to those who gave their lives for Ukraine.
The funeral is carried out both in traditional form and by burial of the urn with ashes on the ground.
“This process is similar, and the number of appeals is growing. Families are expected to conduct ceremonies in accordance with established procedures. We are constantly in contact with them to ensure the right fulfillment of the last will of defenders and proper respect for their memory,” the ministry said.
The department recalled that each funeral ceremony took place according to the ritual of the military funeral, referred to by the charter of the Ukraine’s armed forces, in compliance with all the awards in the military, and at the request of families, representatives of clergy to participate in ceremonies.
For defenders with respect to whom the military funeral ritual was carried out before the cremation, the funeral itself in the NVMK itself was carried out with dignity and sincere.
Remember, on August 29, the funerals began at the National Cemetery. The first buried was certainly unknown heroes. And on September 10, the first determined protector was buried in NVMK.
As reported, even the National Memorial Military Cemetery provides for special sectors for the funeral of unknown military personnel, however, planned to create a separate memory to adore the memory of defenders and defenders, whose individuals have not yet been established.
