Indoor mausoleum feasibility
Mover: Councillor M. Shoemaker
Seconder: Councillor R. Niro
Whereas a number of residents have expressed the desire for indoor mausoleums at the city’s cemeteries as can be found in many cities throughout Ontario; and
Whereas it is prudent for the city to test the demand in the market for indoor mausoleums;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that staff be requested to review the feasibility of indoor mausoleums and attempt, through community outreach, to gauge the demand that might exist in Sault Ste. Marie for indoor mausoleums, and report back to council with a recommendation on whether or not to pursue indoor mausoleums as a future expansion option in Sault Ste. Marie’s cemeteries.
