Other Information:
Just that this has been a problem for some
time, No one should have t spend eternity in a open grave and
bones open to sight. markers broken, slabs fallen into the grave
parts of the coffin showing. The city said it was being taken care
of ,when noted 2 yrs ago. The slabs were to be fixes, markers
repaired. I get the run around when I try to find out. I will take
pictures again, some were sent to 20/20 several years ago.
Support:
All of the above has been asked several
times, with no answer to the problem. I have been old to stay out
of it.
