DeKalb County Commission Approves Crematory at A.S. Turner & Sons
Decatur Metro | October 11, 2010Neighborhood Newspapers reports that last week the DeKalb County Commission approved the county’s second crematory. A.S. Turner & Sons on Winn Way, just outside of the Decatur city limits, will now operate a 112-square foot crematory on-site.
Apparently up until now, restrictive ordinances had limited the number of crematories in the county to one; located in Stone Mountain. But according to the paper, those ordinances were recently relaxed by the commission, allowing the emergence of other crematories in the DeKalb.

I applaud this, as everyone knows cremation is the only responsible way to dispose of a zombie.
This kind of thing burns me up.
You must be a zombie
A.S. Turner and Sons is an outstanding business that has provided wonderful services to my family and many other Decatur area residents over the years. This new service will be greatly appreciated by the families of the deceased.
I believe that the last Turner son died within the last two years. He was a graduate of Decatur High School.
