Are you sure that this went before the Meredith ZBA or Planning Board? It doesn't sound like it from the Citizen article linked in ITD's post above:
"Code Enforcement Officer Bill Edney said an administrative decision was made that the crematorium was an ancillary use of an existing business.
As such, the project did not need planning board approval and no public hearing was held which would have required abutters to be notified."
NO PUBLIC HEARING. It sounds like Bill Edney made an "administrative decision" that a crematorium was an "ancillary use" to an existing business, and therefore no board action or public hearing was necessary.
