Stigma? Stigma? What stigma?

The Carrollton City Council voted 6-1 Tuesday night to deny a special use permit to the North Dallas Funeral Home which sought the permit to install a crematorium inside its funeral home. The permit was opposed by nearby residents "because of the stigma they said the nearby neighborhood would acquire." What? Did these folks think that Carrollton would suddenly become known as the Dachau of North Central Texas? What kind of a bad stigma is a crematorium going to create? I don't get it.
