Mayor Walker asks council to consider mausoleum for Crouch Cemetery; resident urges town recreation
Summary
Mayor Christopher J. Walker presented photos and asked the Town of Gay council on July 14, 2025, to consider a mausoleum for Crouch Cemetery, which has no available lots; resident Willis Everett also urged creation of recreation on town property. No formal action was taken.
Mayor Christopher J. Walker asked the Town of Gay council on July 14, 2025, to consider whether a mausoleum could provide additional burial space for Crouch Cemetery, where no lots are available. He said he had photos of a mausoleum used elsewhere and asked council members to consider whether a similar option might suit Gay.
The proposal was presented as a preliminary idea for council consideration; the council did not vote on or adopt any change to cemetery policy at the meeting. Mayor Walker’s presentation was introduced for discussion only and no implementation steps or funding allocations were approved.
During public comment, resident Willis Everett updated the council on progress with plans for his property and reiterated his hope that “some type of recreation” be established on town-owned property. The council did not take a formal vote on Mr. Everett’s request during the meeting.
Next steps: the council discussed the mausoleum concept but left it for future consideration; no formal referral, study requirement, or timeline was recorded in the minutes.
