An option for flowers inside the mausoleum at Powell River Regional Cemetery in Cranberry was approved at the May 24 qathet Regional District board meeting.
The approved option is for a wheeled plant stand near the glass niches. According to a staff report, this could provide a place for flowers to sit, however, it would not be in front of any niches and could only hold a few plants.
The cost estimate for the plant stand is $2,500, with an ongoing annual cost of $775.
At the May 3 committee of the whole meeting, directors considered a report from manager of operational services Patrick Devereaux, who presented four options related the request for placement of bouquets in the cemetery building.
