City Council
The Mayor and City Council says it has no plans to privatize Le Repentir Cemetery however discussions are ongoing to outsource operations at the Chilling Room and mortuary.
Since the mortuary was handed over to the City Council it has been inoperable, a press release said. The Council said too some time ago the Chilling Room it built had been vandalised and an important component stolen.
Meanwhile, the Council said it is concerned that some funeral homes continue to dump bodies around the facility without care for human life or the dignity of the deceased. The Council said this callous behaviour displayed by the funeral homes is unacceptable as their actions jeopardise the health of persons who reside, work and traverse the area.
