In Selfoss, local authorities are actively exploring the possibility of establishing a new cemetery within the municipality, with two main sites under consideration. This initiative is part of broader expansion plans currently being developed for Selfoss Church, following the approval from the church's congregational council for its administration to pursue further planning and development ideas. The aim is to assess future needs and generate proposals for addressing them effectively.

During a recent congregational assembly, several issues were addressed, including the ongoing search for a new cemetery location either in Selfoss or nearby. There is a recognized necessity for additional burial facilities, which is prompting the local church community to take the lead in identifying suitable plots. Additionally, there are plans to expand the church’s parish center, which has been identified as too small to accommodate current community needs, with initial architectural designs for the extension already in development.

The planning for both the cemetery and the parish center expansion highlights the growing needs of the Selfoss community. As the municipality continues to develop, these initiatives are crucial for ensuring that the local church can serve its congregation effectively, while also considering the historical and cultural significance of the cemetery. The outcomes of this planning effort will be pivotal in shaping the future landscape of Selfoss’ religious and communal infrastructure.
