The new Áltima crematorium at the Terrassa Funeral Home is now operational

Terrassa, October 9, 2019 – Áltima has launched a new crematory oven at the Terrassa Funeral Home, located at Avinguda del Vallès 742, in the Can Petit industrial area. This new facility, which joins the seven other ovens managed by the funeral company in Barcelona, will provide cremation services to Terrassa and nearby towns, such as Matadepera and Viladecavalls.

The new cremation service in Terrassa features a state-of-the-art crematory oven. The facility is located in a section specifically dedicated to this service within the funeral home, accessible from the reception area.

According to Josep Ventura, General Director of Áltima Funeral Services, “The new crematory allows us to provide a complete and convenient funeral service to all users of the Terrassa funeral home. We are aware of the growing demand for cremation throughout Catalonia, but especially in urban areas like this, where cremation rates exceed 55%.”

The new crematory in Terrassa incorporates the most advanced operational control systems, including remote management and monitoring from the manufacturer's central offices for each cremation process. These features ensure efficient handling with full environmental guarantees.

For Josep Ventura, “The launch of the new crematory represents a significant advancement in the services offered by Áltima, which is expanding exponentially to provide the best care to families, offer quality alternatives, and ensure the best funeral service throughout the region.”

First Anniversary of the Terrassa Funeral Home: 300 Services Provided

The introduction of the new cremation service in Terrassa coincides with the first anniversary of Áltima’s funeral home in the city, which was inaugurated in September 2018. This facility, located in Can Petit and the company's first in the Vallès Occidental area, includes three viewing rooms, an oratory, and family service offices. It now also integrates cremation services. In its first year of operation, the facility has provided 300 funeral services.
