Lexington Ad Hoc Crematory Study Meeting <br />February 6, 2019 <br />He suggested that the committee should reach out to the Massachusetts government to determine <br />if any changes to funeral, crematory, or cemetery regulations were being considered. He also <br />suggested the committee should further research if other nearby towns were considering building a <br />crematory. <br />Mr. Burnell expressed concerns about the concept of building a crematory with a small viewing <br />area. Most of the funeral directors he spoke with recommended a 100-150 person capacity <br />crematory. Given the decline in traditional burials, the crematory could be important for the <br />Westview operations in the future. He believed the Town should wait until the committee finished its <br />analysis before appropriating further funds for the Westview Maintenance Building. <br />Mr. Lucente reviewed the committee members' <br />presentation, and coordinating with DPW and the <br />1, 2019 to vote on the final report. <br />The committee adjourned at 10:35pm. <br />DRAFT <br />CREMATORY REPORT 3/20/2019 <br />responsibilities for producing the report and <br />PBC.
