The opening of the rouwregister (condolence book) in Wetteren has been delayed due to the long weekend. Bram De Winne explained that it is practically impossible to open the register earlier. From Monday at 9 a.m., everyone can come to the Sociaal Huis at Scheldedreef to sign and show support to the bereaved family.
- Opening rouwregister start maandag om 9 uur
- Steun betuigen in Sociaal Huis mogelijk
- Geen plannen huisbezoeken Wetterse OCMW stopzetten
- Vakantieperiode vertraagt overleg maatschappelijk werkers
- Uitvaartinformatie blijft voorlopig onbekend
- Lange weekend vertraagt rouwregisteropening
As of 2025-08-15 14:11:00, plans to suspend home visits by the Wetterse OCMW are not in place, unlike in Grimbergen. De Winne noted that discussions with social workers have yet to take place due to the holiday period. Details about the funeral remain unknown at this time.
How can the community best express their condolences during this waiting period? And what impact might the holiday season have on social services in Wetteren? These questions remain relevant as the situation develops.
While the delay in opening the condolence book may be frustrating, it ensures proper organisation and respect. The ongoing home visits highlight the commitment of local social workers, even during holidays. Key points to consider:
- The register’s opening is set to allow everyone to express condolences in person.
- OCMW home visits continue for now, reflecting local social care priorities.
- The holiday period has slowed communication but not halted support services.
- Funeral arrangements remain pending, keeping the community attentive.
Residents are encouraged to visit the Sociaal Huis on Monday to sign the register and show their solidarity. Staying informed and engaged will help the community navigate this sensitive time together.
