My name is Dolores Lupiáñez, graduate in Art History and doctor in Tourism, specialized in art, symbology, heritage and history of cemeteries. Independent researcher, focused on creating routes and guided tours. My professional and academic experience, both in the tourism field and in art history, have led me to promote the potential of cemeteries at a business level. I have created a company that offers routes to cemeteries in several cities in Europe. The objective is to promote public interest in spaces full of history, culture and art, maintaining due respect for the environment in accordance with international guides and standards of good practice. In addition, I continue to investigate cemeteries throughout Europe from their architectural and sculptural perspective, as part of the city to which they belong. I am founder and organizer of the Funeral Heritage Dissemination Group, and an active member of the Ibero-American Network for Valuation and Management of Heritage Cemeteries and member of ICOMOS Mexico (UNESCO).
