Cemeteries<br />
The biggest risk to our reserves is natural weather and<br />
environmental conditions. In our recent past, the floods of 2008<br />
caused severe damage in some of the reserves and dramatically<br />
altered the landscape of some of them. We have not included<br />
additional funding in this long term plan to restore reserves in<br />
the event they are severely damaged in future.<br />
<strong>Plan</strong>s for our cemeteries are based on the assumption that our<br />
nine cemeteries will continue to meet the needs of our aging (and<br />
at times, growing) population for many years to come. There is<br />
always a risk that a natural disaster could severely damage any<br />
of the cemeteries, such as an earthquake or flooding. This has<br />
not been the case to date, but if it did, alternative sites (or site)<br />
may need to be identified.<br />
