Region of Queens Council will have to deal with a delicate issue later this week. Council will decide whether to re-zone a piece of land in Liverpool to allow for eventual construction of a crematorium. The land is behind Chandler's Funeral Home, which is behind the project. General manager Kevin Samuels says public perception of cremation has changed in recent years.
Samuels says the demand for cremation has increased 75 percent along the South Shore over the past decade or so. Chandler's is looking at increasing the availability of it on the South Shore. Right now, cremation facilities are available in Yarmouth, Bridgewater and Halifax.
