CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet made a decision to commence burials at Tomlinson’s immediately after the demarcated land has been fenced and the plans for graves and buildings are completed.

The St. John’s Public Cemetery cannot accommodate burials, unless in the graves of family members; and, the public cemetery next to the Lady of the Valley Church is nearing maximum capacity. It is evident that cremation will become an alternative to burial of cadavers.

Regulations are to be adopted by the Parliament of Antigua and Barbuda in order to ensure that certain standards are adhered to in the new Tomlinson’s Cemetery; only standardized headstones are to be utilized to allow for a tidy and respectful burial place for loved ones.
