Ruth Bonneville / Free Press Biz Alterna Cremation Business portrait of Ashley Newton, owner of Alterna Cremation, at their head office on Henderson Hwy. What: Alterna Cremation is building a new crematorium in St. Andrews. It purchased equipment from Florida last year, but the project was delayed, so the equipment is set to come this May and is likely subject to 25 per cent tariffs. Ashley estimates she’ll pay an extra $62,000 due to tariffs. (This is for a follow up article on tariffs.) See story by Gabby March 5th, 2025
