Transfer of a ten-year monument or temporary removal: how it works

A ten-year monument or a funeral marker can be moved from one burial to another, even in different cemeteries and in other municipalities. 

The works can begin after obtaining the authorization from the cemetery and, where it is technically possible, the ordinary or extraordinary maintenance interventions on the tombs are carried out directly inside the cemetery.

1. Issuance of authorization
Both the transfer and removal of the monument are subject to authorization, therefore an application must be submitted on €16.00 stamp paper plus a stamp of the same amount for the authorization.

2. Removal of the monument
Removal operations are free and do not involve any further charges other than the issuing of the authorization.

3. Transfer of the monument
Transfer to non-municipal cemeteries does not entail any additional charges beyond the issuing of the authorization.

However, if the new destination is another cemetery in the Municipality of Milan, in addition to the authorization, the following fee is required:

  • € 179,50;
  • €2,00 stamp duty.

The amount must be paid before the transfer authorization is issued as follows:

  • in the Maggiore, Bruzzano and Lambrate cemeteries the fee is paid via POS. It is also possible to pay at these locations for the transfer of monuments located in other cemeteries;
  • alternatively it is possible to pay at the civic cash desk in via Larga, 12.
