SAY NO to having a crematorium in our historic, residential area of Middletown, PA on the premises of Fager-Finkenbinder Funeral Home at 208 N. Union St.

The proposed crematory site, in an accessory building on the property of Fager-Finkenbinder Funeral Home at 208 N. Union St., has 29 residential buildings within 250 feet and is in the heart of our historic district. Middletown Management has given the owners of the crematory carte blanche to run the proposed human incinerator 24 hours a day, 7 days a week right in our residential district, and they can use an accessory building to do it. We argue that this is not in the spirit of the ordinances of our town and especially the use of an accessory building. Examples of accessory use in the Middletown Ordinances are swimming pools, greenhouses, and tennis courts. It is quite a leap from those examples to a human incinerator. Please help us stop this and hold the Middletown Management accountable for not doing due diligence regarding our public health, property values, and quality of life.
