Ga. Senator Wants To Double Distance Between Crematories, Homes

Jeff Crowell is the owner of funeral homes in Peachtree Corners and Buford. His funeral home in Buford already has a crematory installed, and he’s trying to install a crematory at his funeral home in Peachtree Corners. 

But Republican Sen. Brandon Beach of Alpharetta says he plans to file a bill to double the distance allowed between a crematory and residential area from 1,000 to 2,000 feet.
