The Cabinet invited to its meeting two entrepreneurs of Antiguan descent–normally resident in Canada but are to return home–who are planning to build a crematorium for the purpose of making cremations readily available to grieving families.<\/strong><\/p>

Each year, about 600 persons die in Antigua and Barbuda and are usually buried in one of the cemeteries around the island-nation; very few are cremated, since that requires shipping the cadaver to another Caribbean island where that service is available.<\/p>\n

The entrepreneurs, both females, who have won many awards for their funereal services in Canada, have determined that a market exists for this alternative form of burial in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Attorney General and the Minister of Health will collaborate to ensure that the appropriate legislation is adopted by the Parliament.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Minister of Works reported that the Public Cemetery at Tomlinson\u2019s is being prepared by fencing on the south and west of the acreage.<\/p>\n

Roadways and plots are being prepared according to plan. The new cemetery is expected to look like a large garden rather than a dreary place full of foreboding.<\/p>
