(visit link) From the website in part:

The owner of the property is John Williams, 58, a Catonsville resident, who bought the property in 2009. He said he wants to revive the property as a business with mausoleums for pets and a crematorium.

Does he have the financing to accomplish this?

"I don't have that kind of money, but we can get a grant. Or, I have other properties I could use for collateral on a loan," he said.

The pet cemetery was a business for decades, founded by Alvin Seitz in the 1930s. Families took out contracts for burial plots and many erected striking headstones, some engraved with portraits of the pets. The property contains a now-vacant house for the owner and an office-shed that has gone derelict.
