New cemetery approval welcomed

Planning approval for a new cemetery, incorporating a crematorium at Lisburn Road, Moira, near to the M1 roundabout has been welcomed.

The approval of this new cemetery will create over 8,000 burial plots.

Chairman of Lisburn City Council’s Planning Committee Councillor Mackin said: “We appreciate and totally understand all the emotions involved when making decisions on a final resting place.

“This facility will enable every family to choose the way they wish to say farewell to their loved ones.

“The Council’s Planning Committee considered this proposal very carefully and we believe there is a need and demand for further cemetery provision.”
