Would you oppose this?

Our property backs up to the cemetary, though there are woods between us and the gravesites. Having a crematorium in the neighborhood would be fine with me, and I am sure the process is heavily regulated as to air pollution, so no odd smells would result.

I could careless, it prob. smells better then our dirty neighbours.

I use to go to the towns grave yard all the time with friends. We always tried to find the oldest grave, but we never stepped on a grave, only looked. SO death doesn'r bother me much. Both death houses as we called them, were beside homes, homes were all around the grave yard aswell.

Wouldn't bother me. At least I would know the neighbors would be quiet.

I went to school with two boys that both lived in funeral homes with their families.

I wouldn't really mind too much. I personally would think it would be kind of creepy but no need to fight it. As long as it wasn't in in a residential area & everything was up to code and safe (no bad smells or smoke or something dangerous) then I wouldn't try to fight it. They have to be somewhere right?

Good question. The first thing I thought of were "emissions" so they'd need an environmental impact statement! The crematory per se doesn't bother me that much. I've never been a NIMBY type anyway (I live less than 2 miles from a nuclear plant!)

I dont think id mind if like was said before "smells" didnt come thru..
Isnt it funny we face death evey day, and it give us the creeps???Its something we all have to face..why do you think it makes us feel thatway

cry when your born, what is that part about death..??umm cant rember..

It is a necessary business for sure, and since it is in a commercial area, I wouldn't try to fight it. Like others, I would just want to be sure they followed all health codes!

King, so do I. I like going into the really old cemeteries and reading the sometimes funny statements. I like how when they were so proud of knowing their actual birthdays they would engrave something like "Mary Sue lived for 28 years, 4 months, 9 days, and 5 hours"

Wouldn't bother me Tim and I 's first apt was next door to the funeral (sp) home. the only problem was most time I lost my parking spot until the owner of home had the city put up signage and painted out spots.
2nd my hubby had a taxidermy shop for several years what can I say?

LOL! LOL! Donna!

You want creepy - how's this? My son's best friend and his wife recently bought their first house. They were in there less than a week when one of the neighbors told them that there had been a murder in that house. Now THAT would bother me. I don't even know why, because I don't believe in ghosts and stuff but it would still bother me.

**Suki Wingy** · 12-21-2005, 09:25 PM

SAME! But I would still live happily in it, just an eary thought. I saw a show on people who believe in "energy paths"

That's exactly what Aunt Bertha said about this house!

Honestly I don't think i would be too phased out by it all,might be a little uneasy feeling at first but after a while one would not even think about it really, now if a brothel started up next door , that i would be up in arms about.
