Century-old Cape Breton funeral home torched - TheChronicleHerald.ca

Thursday, November 17, 2016

A century-old Cape Breton funeral home was torched on the weekend. Volunteer firefighters who doused a fire at the Francis Funeral Home in Sydney Mines on Saturday were suspicious about the cause of the fire and called investigators, said Paul MacCormick, deputy fire marshal. “The main door was secure. We had to force our way in the front door,” MacCormick said. “(But) someone had made entry to the building. “The fact that you have a vacant building with no power, at four in the afternoon, with no one occupying the building, no source of ignition from electrical or heat — you start narrowing down the thing. “I wanted (the police) to look at it.” Firefighters found the fire, which MacCormick said has since been determined to be arson, on the ground floor, near the rear of the building. “There was heavy fire damage to that section, and smoke damage to the remainder of the building — a bit of water damage, but that room was gutted,” MacCormick said. The building contained “limited contents,” MacCormick said. Until it closed two years ago, the Francis family ran the funeral home for more than 100 years, said William Laurie, o...

No applicants yet for public seats on Nova Scotia funeral board - Cape Breton Post

Wednesday, March 27, 2019

SYDNEY, N.S. - Anyone upset over what's happening in the funeral industry in Nova Scotia now has an opportunity to pull up a chair and do something about it. For the first time, the Nova Scotia Board of Registration of Embalmers and Funeral Directors is offering two board seats to public advocates not connected to the funeral industry, measures taken following a bizarre and emotional mix up at a Nova Scotia funeral home last year. Rodger Gregg "That way the public can get involved in enforcement actions when they need to be taken by the board as we'd have the consumer advocate perspective as well," said Rodger Gregg, registrar of cemetery and funeral services in Nova Scotia. However, Gregg said, his concern is that no one has applied for the positions and the positions start in June. "Right now, we haven't received any applicants for these positions," he said. "For us it's a great opportunity for there now to be consumer representation on the board to represent the consumer's interest." The board previously consisted of just the registrar and five othe...
