Jardines de la Paz was created more than one decade
ago when the funerary services passed through a
difficult situation in our country. It was an unprecedented
decision in our country and it was inspired in Europeans
and American models.
After a complete research we decided that our proposal
should not be only being an ecological cemetery
or only a traditional graveyard but a combination
of both.
Based in the diversity of our country costumes,
we decided to provide the best variety of services
and choices. From that moment, our concept is to
provide the service that people desire without obligating
them to change their family costumes for foreign
patterns.
However, in order to understand the immediate success
of Jardines de la Paz, we can not forget to mention
main concepts such as: security, cleanness, order,
readiness and the best client’s service. We
were the first ones to offer the Pre-need purchase
service in our country. To achieve our, we had to
innovate our work and control methods such as: timing,
movement reduction, rotate control of the personnel
during all the week, etc.
Although our services were based in American and
European models, as we mentioned before, the details
of the funeral ceremony were carefully created in
accordance with our costumes. We provide religious
service, master of ceremonies, descent of the coffin
to the in-ground grave, covering of the coffin and
the reestablishment of the grass lining at the presence
of the mourners. Generally, our service has been
so widely accepted that it has become the standard
model for all this kind of cemeteries.
The adoption of this new kind of services has required
some modifications in the burial ceremony such as
new offer methods, advertisement and anticipated
purchase. The introduction in the market has been
carefully studied by specialists of many areas,
in order to avoid the rejection of very conservative
or religious consumers.
We have to remark that we have been very carefully
in the designing of our own advertisement system.
In spite of the necessary discretion and respect
of our advertisement, only a few people from Lima
could say that they do not know or hear anything
about Jardines de la Paz. The establishment of this
dynamic and well-trained group of familiar consignment
was an important novelty.
In order to complement this innovative proposal,
we decided to build the cemetery in arid hillsides
since they are lands without any agricultural or
building value and they have a wonderful sightseeing
that contributes with a sensation of peace. Those
who visit our cemetery are impacted by this kind
of impression.
Within this concept and with the help of the most
advanced technology 50, 000 m²of grass and
10 000m² of areas with trees and bushes were
created in a period of 12 years in a sandy area
in the surroundings of Lima. This is an important
contribution to the ecology. This is what we do
in Jardines de la Paz with a vision in the future
and with respect of our our present.
When we began our operations in 1991 we only had
an area that scarcely exceed 2500 m2. The parking
lot was only for 50 vehicles and we only had a little
pre fabricated stand as an administrative office.
Nowadays, our cemetery in La Molina has 50 000m2
for in-ground burial, pavilions of 20000 niches
pavilions for ash urns, as well as administrative
buildings and other services.
During important dates, we received more than 7
000 vehicles in our parking lot. We have now our
own security personnel, traffic control and master
of ceremonies to monitor the several events than
are executed at the same time.
Jardines
de la Paz is a modern cemetery that will continue
its gradually progress following the technology
trends of the XXI century in accordance with the
needs of our clients.
