I am pleased to announce we have completed construction of our mausoleum building in Toms River, New Jersey. The initial furnishings have been put in place and all names have been inscribed in the building. We are very pleased with this building project and plan on hosting an open house in the spring to celebrate this milestone. We have constructed over 10,000 mausoleum crypts in Toms River and are the largest cemetery in our marketplace.
We are also making significant progress on our Waretown mausoleum and chapel project. The concrete and steel work has been completed for one of the two mausoleum structures. Weather permitting the concrete will be completed in the spring of 2006. We anticipate completing the building by September 2006. The chapel facility should be operating in March 2006, at which time we will have fulltime staff on the premises. We are busy preparing for our annual candlelight service, which will be held on Saturday, December 10, 2005. This will mark our 19th holiday service. |
