Definitions
- the invention relates to a structural configuration of a cemetery for burial of corpses, which is easy to be realized and maintained, thanks to its modular structure and to the practical assembling of the various prefabricated modules thereof.
- the cemeteries are specific well delimited zones of ground, into which there are effected some excavations for inserting the coffins of the dead (interment), which are subsequently covered with earth and on to which the funeral monuments are positioned.
- the so realized cemeteries have some inconveniences in their use, in that they require to perform a series of excavation works, with appropriate excavator means and/or manually with special personnel, for providing new graves for burial of corpses and for disinter thereof, which circumstances make long and expensive the excavation operations and the ground moving and/or replacement, involving long work times and considerable number of personnel each time that such operations are needed.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome and eliminate the above mentioned inconveniences of the currently used cemeteries, by means of a cemetery having a new structural and aesthetical configuration, which is realized with such new criteria as to simplify and make easy the burials, the ordinary rotations and maintenances.

- - Fig. 21 shows a plan view of three different types along the X-axis of the arrangements of the different tombs of the structural configuration according to the invention ;
- Fig. 22 shows a typical perspective environment of a preparation for a cemetery, with the sectors put in evidence and assigned for a green area, info-point area, and pedestrian paths dimensioned in accordance to regulations for eliminating architectural barriers, etc... ;
- FIG. 23 shows a plan view of an example of a cemetery obtained with the structural configuration according to the invention, with the sectors put in evidence assigned for receiving some additional buildings acting as crematoriums and other fittings, memory garden and burial areas distinguished in accordance to the pertaining religion.
- the above Figures represent the structural configuration for preparing a modular cemetery according to the invention, which is easy to be realized, maintained, managed and organized.
- Such structural configuration 10 is of modular type and composed mainly of a first component element 11 (see Figs. 1 and 2) constituted by a set of cases 12 supported by a horizontal flat base (floor slab) 13, which are prefabricated and made of concrete or other suitable solid and resistant material, into each one of which a container 14 made of plastic material or other material is introduced, which container is able to hold the coffin 15 of the dead, and is opened at its upper part for being subsequently closed by an upper over 16 made always of plastic material or other material, said cases 12 being also closed at their upper part with a cover 17 made of concrete, adapted to support the desired tombstones or monuments 18.
- the cases 12 are four, arranged aligned two by two to each other on to two contiguous rows connected to each other by the lower base (floor slab) 13, but the arrangement and number of cases may also be changed, thus without departing from the protection sphere of the present invention.
- an excavation of the earth 19 with adequate sizes and shapes is effected, into which the component element 11 will be subsequently introduced, in such a way that the upper edge 20 of the cases 12 be uncovered, so that the covers 17 and afterwards the tombstones or monuments 18 may be laid thereon by a single operator with a common elevator truck (not shown).
- the flat base 13 of the component element 11 will be then laid on to the excavation of the earth 19, together with said cases 12 of parallelepiped form equally spaced away from each other, which, in a first embodiment thereof (see Figs. 3-5), have their upper edge 20 shaped like an external peripheral step 21 of the same height, on which the relative closing cover 17 engages, which is formed by a flat plate with an internal lower step 22 along all its perimeter, which is fixed perfectly with the external step 21 of each case 12, and an upper internal step 23 will engage the flat base 24 of the tombstones or monuments 18.
- a second embodiment see Figs.
- the closing cover 31 is shaped like the previous cover 17, however with such dimensions as to adapt itself to the edges 26, 27 and 28 and to be able to be joined with a flat shaped further cover 32, which is laid on to the remaining free portion of the case 12, and is provided with an upper rear step 33 which will engage said cover 31.
- a polygonal shaped through hole 37 for example of squared form (see Figs. 2 and 11), is created in the base (floor slab) 13 of the cases 12, on to which a concrete sump pit 38 is installed, which arrives at the height of the steps 21 and is provided mainly for dripping the meteorological waters, and ventilating and hygienizing, and below such sump pit 38 a per se known absorbing well with holed rings 39 is inserted in the earth 19.
- Some horizontal pipings 40 made of PVC or similar materials are inserted in the cases 12, which pass through corresponding prefabricated holes 41, for circulating air in the interior of the same cases 12, which may be also inserted in the sump pit 38, in such a manner that from this latter air can be forced for making easier the re-circulation thereof.
- pipings 40 Inside said pipings 40 it is possible to insert additional pipings with reduced dimensions 42, such as for example flexible tubes of rubber, which terminate inside the cases 12 and the containers 14, thanks to some prefabricated holes in the covers 16 of the same containers, in such a manner that hygienizing liquids or liquids accelerating the decomposition of the dead bodies (biodegradable products) may be injected or sprayed by means of nozzles 43 therein, so that it isn't necessary to wait many years before making the ordinary rotation for the corpses interment and/or disinter.
- additional pipings with reduced dimensions 42 such as for example flexible tubes of rubber
- filter-valves units 44 which are connected at their other ends outside the structural configuration 10 by means of a vertical piping 45 passing inside additional prefabricated holes (not shown), and provided for filtering and valve regulated passage of the volatile compounds of the putrefaction gases of the dead decomposition, in order to discharge outside such filtered compounds and to allow air to be introduced for accelerating the corpse decomposition.
- the relative coffin 15 is laid on to a biological vessel 46 of biodegradable type, which is disposed on to the bottom of the same container and made of a material resistant to the corrosive action of the corpse sewages released by the dead during its decomposition, which may be recovered during the disinter step for being disposed of.
- the cases 12 may be realized/disposed, depending on the dimensions and shape of the cemetery in which the structure 10 will be applied, with different arrangements both along the horizontal X axis and the vertical Y axis, in a binary 47, 48, ternary 49, 50 or quaternary 51, 52 etc... arrangement.
