Marion County man to build new pet cemetery

Everyone says a dog is a man’s best friend, and one property owner is hoping that memory never ends.

Lawrence Nikola Jr. will soon build a pet cemetery in Marion County right off U.S. 301.
He tells WUFT he has over 51 years of experience in the cemetery business with many cemetery properties, but this one he finds this project extra special.

WUFT’s Krystal Felix chatted with him and began by asking about what sparked his idea.

Krystal is a reporter for WUFT News who can be reached by calling 352-392-6397 or emailing news@wuft.org.
