The last several years this grave yard,that many of my family members have been buried in and I pass daily, has declined in it's maintenance. It's deplorable that someone is being paid to maintain it and isn't doing there job. My aunt passed away and while we were at her visitation we were told the manager of Bethesda hadn't had the plot dug yet and we were a few hours from heading to her funeral side services. My grandparents Stone has been moved and a very huge chip is gone and it wasn't reset properly. People visit gravesites for comfort it's not comforting to see your flowers, hangers and expensive stones treated like trash. It's disgraceful to let it get this bad with the management.

Wasnt your van loaded full of that decor from gravesites and the sheriff told YOU thsts theft? No one else was loading all the goods in tbeor vehicles. Good way of taking spot light of yourself and put on two others. Eye roll

I believe they need a better family contact on spring cleaning days. They should not throw away memories of our family members! That's disrespecting the deceased! As long as the plot is taken care of we should be aloud to put anything on our loved ones grave. U guys threw away memories that can't be replaced!

Are the warcraft there at the grass at the cemetery because I don't think this man knows what he's doing because he hurt my family really deeply and I think it is wrong I think he has no family morals I think he has no family idea what people go through it gets it makes me mad I'm not accustomed person but it but I don't believe that you know what you're doing I think we have to get somebody else out there and I'm all for this petition to get you out of there and put somebody else in that would let them people decorate their graves and everything

Our Sons Grave was robbed of everything and we found a lot of it well the items that weren't broken.i cut and Maintain our Son and Neices grave my self . Brandon Hoopengardner if said in front of the Deputies that he sees me all the time out there doing it. So since I maintain it how do they have the right to throw everyone in the Garbage. Bill McLain and his lynch men killed our Son all over again. No respect for No one just like when he was a Disgrace full Judge. But of course he grets butt kissed since he has money and power. We saved some of the wooden Crosses if anyone is missing any .pm me .also watch the online Auction s and sale sites because I heard an unnamed source said Hoopengardner or his girlfriend I won't mention her name as of yet sell the good stuff but that's not confirmed. What is funny that next to 1 of the workers bike's was our Cross and a bag of our sons valuable s so was he stealing to resale yes I believe so the rest of our Sons stuff was scattered all over. I Want Bill Mclains Job. and yes I'd fire Hoopengardner lawn.and hire a respectable lawn service I have a Young Guy in Mind. Chris Huckleberry can fill the Job Thank You

I believe those that have family members there should get a week's notice they have no right taking personal property of the graves that hurt a lot of families feelings some of them who are still struggling to heal with the new death of a loved one and that's the way they are coping with the death is decorating there grave side
