The construction project for the comprehensive funeral facility is a pledge project of the 8th term mayor of Yangju City. During the Citizen Evaluation Group meeting for the second half of the year, held on August 28, there was a suggestion that an on-site inspection by the Citizen Evaluation Group was essential to ensure an objective evaluation of the pledge project, which led to the implementation of this visit.

Thirteen people, including the head of the Citizen Evaluation Group for the pledge project, attended the inspection. They received a briefing on the progress of the comprehensive funeral facility project and conducted a site tour, which enhanced their understanding of the pledge project.

Yangju City has finalized the area of Bangseong 1-ri in Baekseok-eup as the site for the comprehensive funeral facility to address the supply-demand imbalance of funeral facilities and to improve citizens' welfare. The project is being pursued jointly with six local governments, including Yangju City, Uijeongbu, Namyangju, Guri, Pocheon, and Dongducheon.

After completing the inspection, members of the Citizen Evaluation Group stated, "Funeral facilities are essential welfare facilities in an aging society directly linked to citizens' lives. Considering the topography, geography, and transportation accessibility, the selected site is optimal. We hope that the construction of the comprehensive funeral facility in northern Gyeonggi Province will meet local cremation demand and alleviate the time and financial burdens caused by having to travel outside the region for cremation."
