Tomlinson’s New Public Cemetery Set to Welcome Burials by Next Month, Delays Due to Rain

Published

CABINET NOTES: The new public cemetery at Tomlinson’s could begin to receive burials by the end of next month.

The roads within the cemetery and the parking apron have been delayed primarily by rain, which makes utilizing cement and other materials untenable until the soil dries.

    The next excuse will definitely not be lack of clients, but rain and flooding is going to be a continued problem because of the lay of the land
