Got a call last week from Mark at the cemetery.
“Someone put up a rock border around your son’s headstone.”
Well, yeah. Debbie and I spent an entire Sunday afternoon putting that there. We wanted to get it looking nice for Richard’s birthday.
It was hard work. The sod in that area of the cemetery has a tough root system. It didn’t come up easily. The ground was like concrete. We dug some of it out and added nice planting soil we got from Lowe’s.
Well, it seems rock and stone edging is against the rules. Liability issues.
So, this past weekend we went back and removed the edging stones.
For now we didn’t put in a new edging. Only wood and plastic are allowed. Didn’t see any that are pleasing to us. We added a few more flowers too.
One response to “Trouble at the Cemetery”
I lost my son in February. The day before his 37th birthday. I think we pay enough money for that small plot of ground, we should be able to do whatever we want to it as long as it is nice and presentable.
