Mayor and City Council to build modern crematorium

Apr 21, 2012 News

 

 

The Mayor and City Council is now considering the idea of constructing a fully modernized crematorium in the city, since it is recognized that Georgetown has none.
This is according to the Chairman of the Markets and Public Health Committee, Mr. Ranwell Jordan, who explained that there is a need for a crematorium in the city.
The proposal is for a fully modernized one, where when the body goes in one end of a contraption and the ashes come out the other. There is also a plan to have people pay a small fee and have their loved one’s ashes stored safely, for as long as possible.
Available for this venture, is a limited amount of space in the city that is suitable enough for this purpose. Jordan said that while there are some suggested plots, these are all located out of Georgetown, which will defeat the purpose of having it be the “city’s crematorium”.
He further revealed that while the plot on which the old mortuary is located in Le Repentir might be a suitable one, with a satisfactory concrete foundation, it will hinder the Mayor and City Council’s plan of future enhancements.
City Engineers, he said, are still on the lookout for plots of land to facilitate this and other ventures.
