Porter trustees discuss Greenwood Cemetery pavilion idea; funeral homes say families prefer graveside services
Summary
The Board heard that committee conversations about a pavilion at Greenwood Cemetery have met resistance from funeral home representatives, who told trustees families prefer graveside services. No action was taken.
Norma Meyer told the Board the Greenwood Cemetery Improvement Project has included discussion of building a pavilion so families could hold funeral services there instead of at graveside. Meyer said she contacted representatives from several funeral homes, and the representatives reported that families generally prefer graveside services rather than using a pavilion.
The Board did not take action on the idea at the Nov. 18 meeting and left the matter for further consideration by the committee. Meyer relayed the funeral-home feedback as part of the committee’s review.
