Region's first privately run crematorium to open in Kitchener - TheRecord.com

KITCHENER - With cremation becoming an increasingly popular choice, a private funeral home has plans to build the first privately run crematorium in Waterloo Region. Kitchener Funeral Homes and Crematorium Inc. has obtained the permits it needs from the city and the Ministry of the Environment and plans to open the crematorium at Forwell Road and Victoria Street in Kitchener this spring, said Kamal Bhardwaj, a partner in the business. The crematorium, when it opens, will be the only privately run crematorium in the region. Kitchener does about 600 cremations a year and that number is growing, said Trisha Bradshaw, Kitchener's manager of cemeteries. Waterloo also runs a crematorium out of the city-owned Parkview Cemetery. Waterloo's Parkview cemetery does about 1,350 cremations a year, serving families across southwestern Ontario, said Rebecca Zinger, Waterloo's interim manager of cemeteries. The private crematorium expects to cater to the South Asian and East Asian communities in the region, Bhardwaj said. It will offer a somewhat different service than existing crematoria, since mourners w...

Record in an email. She said that is true in many cases, but sometimes family members or friends can't afford to pay for a funeral so they don't come forward. The Region of Waterloo covers the cost of funerals in cases where no one steps in to foot the bill, or when a friend or relative is not found or when a family can't afford a funeral. There is an assumption that only family members can claim a body, but that isn't true, Mahyr said. "Claimants can be anyone from friends to colleagues to neighbours. Claimants can also include institutions such as churches." Glendinning said in her 28 years of experience as a funeral director, she has seen cases where a community or church group will take over the funeral of someone who died alone, but it is rare. "Not many people have a desire to pay for somebody's funeral that they are not close to," she said. The search for a friend or relative to take responsibility of the unclaimed individual can be a lengthy one that involves many agencies and organizations. Local coroners and hospital social workers are often the first ones tasked with the search while the unclaimed individual's body waits at a local hospital morgue. They may contact social and re...
