The proposed project, which has received City approval, calls for converting the existing 11,460-square-foot building into the Fairhaven Memorial Services Center, which will include arrangement offices, a visitation room, 1,240-square-foot chapel, reception area, and a patio area at the rear of the building. The Memorial Services Center will not be used for cremations. While Fairhaven Memorial Services Center will primarily provide funeral services, the facility will also offer services such as weddings and small receptions.
