91 Moore Ave., located next to Kitchener-owned and operated Mount Hope Cemetery, will be transformed by Kitchener Cemeteries to provide expanded cemetery services to the community.
This year, exterior renovations will completely modernize the look of the building. Construction is expected to begin June 2021 and finish by October 2021. A transformation indoors will follow within the next five years.
When complete, the building will feature indoor niches for urns, a bookable community room which will be used for family gatherings, memorial services and other events and office space for staff.

An unfortunate interpretation of "Modernized look", though the building that they are transforming isn't exactly something to write home about either. It's too bad that they could not come up with something that looked more like a meaningful place where the ashes of the ones you loved are kept and less like that self-storage place where you keep your stuff from your early adult years (ie college/university) because you can't be bothered to throw it out.
