I am not opposed to the funeral business or cremation, but I do not understand why a crematory should be built in a congested residential neighborhood...... I would think that being good neighbors would be the first objective of any businessman trying to establish himself in a small town......bringing noise, additional traffic, and more pollution,not to mention stress to a residential area probably isn't the best way to generate feelings of trust, respect, and quiet dignity for a business that usually exemplifies these things...it would seem that the entire project is off to a bad start due to a lack of finesse

This decision by the zoning officer was so contrary to the zoning ordinance as to defy belief.

First of all why do we need a crematory what to burn people at the same place and to me it seems a little creepy especially for a kid like me i'd be scared of the thing. Think of living next to it and think about what the people that run it will think if they have to burn their parents. please save our peaceful town)-:

State & federal regulations are pretty loose, and depend on "self-monitoring" and "self-reporting" by the company that profits from operating the crematory. Fager-Finkenbinder have already shown that they will hide things from their neighbors. Makes it hard to trust them once the crematory is up and running.

Middletown is a wonderful community, a creamatorium will give the area a bad reputation. It should be located in an industrial area away from housing.

Lets not lower the property values and pollute the air more. There are greener solutions for burial. I don't want my kids growing up with this around.

Should not be in the historic area why not out with the farmer fields and stuff. Do you really want to destroy the value of our town?

Crematories should not be placed in a small cramped town, they should be placed away from crowds! Putting such a place in a small town is NOT kosher!

Having a crematory in a residential area does not make sense, and the legality should reflect this. Would those who judge otherwise tolerate having a crematory close to their homes?

The smell alone would probably make people feel, at least, if not sick. You can only imagine the impact on adjoining property values.

A crematorium in a heavily populated residential area is a health hazard that touches us all, from the unborn to the very old.
