Lack of sign derails vote on Arlington Heights funeral home

The Arlington Heights village board was forced Monday to postpone action on a request to build a Lauterberg & Oehler Funeral Home at the southeast corner of Euclid and Waterman avenues in Memory Gardens cemetery.

The company failed to post a sign on the property for 15 days before the issue went to the village's design commission, said Charles Witherington-Perkins, director of planning and community development.

Proper notice was given before the plan commission considered the issue and recommended the funeral home be allowed, he said. The matter can probably come back to the village board in July, Witherington-Perkins said.

Area residents have objected to the proposal and were expected to speak at Monday's meeting.
