EDMONTON A proposed crematorium located in central Edmonton is facing backlash from individuals who live nearby. Trinity Funeral Home bought the industrial building at 114 Avenue and 119 Street, with the intent to run a crematorium and general interment services. More than a dozen residents in the Prince Rupert neighbourhood laid out their concerns to city council on Tuesday to oppose to the rezoning request for the proposed site. Laurie Moulton, senior planner at the City of Edmonton, presented council with the administrative plan. It indicated there are approximately 15 crematoriums in various locations around the city, including the heart of Oliver Square and downtown. Both of those locations are adjacent to thousands of residents within the city’s most populated neighbourhoods.
