Another attempt is being made by Dryden Community Funeral Home to build a crematorium on their Grand Trunk Avenue property.
A virtual public meeting was held Monday to gather input and information on a rezoning application.
The nearly 3 hour meeting included views from both sides with concerns on location, noise and environment.
The crematorium would be an addition to the exisiting building and would be designed for both humans and pets, as staff say they’re hoping to meet rising demands.
Phil Savage spoke on behalf of the applicant and says they currently have to travel to Beausejour, Manitoba or Thunder Bay.
