Environmentalists want to see Coyote Valley cemetery proposal receive a decent burial

ENVIRONMENTALISTS ARE URGING San Jose leaders to reconsider plans for a new cemetery in Coyote Valley, claiming it will harm large swaths of natural habitats. 

The Heritage Oaks Memorial Park cemetery project would be built on 102 acres of Coyote Valley’s ridge on the south side of Bailey Avenue, east of McKean Road. The hillside property would include a funeral home, chapel, office, parking, mausoleums, crematorium, maintenance building and connecting roads.
