HARDSHIPS CAUSED BY
LACK OF A MAUSOLEUM
There is discussion at the present
time regarding the urgent need in
Seaforth community of a mausol-
eum burial chapel to serve the needs
of the surrounding municipalities in
the winter, Extreme hardship has
been experienced getting" funerals
through blocked roads to the cem-
eteries.
It is suggested that a mausoleum
located in town would be easily
accessible in all Idnds of weather,
and would prove a corefort•to ber-
eaved families, friends and all in
attendance by protecting them from
exposure : in cold stormy Weather.
Bodies would rerrigin in a mausoleum
' until' spring, when they could be
conveniently removed to the place
of burial in nearby or distant cern-
