A Delaware County cemetery is pledging to take action on a now abandoned crematorium that once operated on its property.Mount Lawn Cemetery in Darby Township has been around for nearly 100 years. Sadly, like many historic cemeteries, it's dilapidated and in bad shape.The group East Coast Explorations goes inside old abandoned buildings. In 2021, Miguel Pena and the group went inside the old Mount Lawn Crematorium and found boxes of ashes, some neatly stacked, others were strewn on the floor.
An attorney and owner of the cemetery, Craig Alston, told Action News that Mount Lawn has fallen on tough financial times and has done its best to keep the cemetery secure. They've dealt with several break-ins over the years. Action News pressed Alston on why he didn't frame in a new exterior door. He said he would, and added that cemetery board members are working to get a state grant to pay to have the building torn down.
"I think it should be a level playing field and for the consumer, it would be the best thing," he said.
