Funeral home expansion would oust Manassas hair salon Pierce Funeral Home
The Manassas City Council will have more time to decide whether or not to allow an indoor columbarium near the city’s downtown.
The Council on Monday, December 14 deferred a decision on whether or not to rezone about an acre of land at the Pierce Funeral Home at 9605 Center Street for the columbarium, where cremains would be stored. It’ll make its decision when the council meets again on January 11, 2021.
The columbarium would replace a house next to the funeral home, owned by the funeral home, home to business, Exclusive Hair Designs. The hair salon customers urged the Council to deny the rezoning request, saying “[the city] will have a whole block that focuses on death” if the rezoning is approved.
