Council discusses opening upper lots, access road and columbarium at Alma Memorial Cemetery
Summary
The Services Committee reported the city is considering opening upper lots at Alma Memorial Cemetery; council members noted an access road may be needed because of steep terrain so vault companies can reach the lots, and the committee discussed purchasing a columbarium for cremated remains.
The City of Alma Common Council on April 17 discussed potential changes at Alma Memorial Cemetery including opening upper lots and purchasing a columbarium for cremation interments.
Services Committee Chair Loren Mueller told the Council the committee examined the practical challenges of opening the upper lots, noting that an access road may need to be constructed because of steep terrain so vault companies can access burial sites.
