Increases to the cemetery fees and charges are being recommended for 2023.
According to a staff report discussed at the September 20 qathet Regional District finance committee meeting, a five per cent inflationary increase is being proposed for all items in the sale of plots, crypts, mausoleum and columbarium niches.
The report said the figure was chosen to offset the 5.4 per cent increase to the BC consumer price index, which is an indicator of expected cost increase for the service.
