Township Cemetery  

 

 

Township Trustee, Rose Ann Remer, has been an advocate for a township cemetery for several years because she believes there is a need for such a service.  The rate of growth in our community has exceeded that of most communities in the county as many people are choosing Lake Township as a full- time home.  Although many of us may not plan ahead for our permanent resting place, inevitably it catches up with all of us.  We have been told that it is sometimes difficult to find available cemetery space for loved ones in close proximity to their home in Lake Township. 

If you have any opinion on this, your township officials want to hear from you.  Please call the Township offices, talk to your officials, mail us your thoughts or email the township at   info@laketownship.net.
