The gates are finally coming down and my grandfather will be laid to rest with his family. Thank you for helping us end this nightmare. We are watching to ensure they stay open for good.

The momentum is incredible. It shows exactly how many people agree that families belong with their loved ones.

How about cameras if it's about vandalism? Would that be an option? This is a shame that people cannot go visit their deceased loved ones.
It is terrible when we can't even visit the graves of our loved ones who are buried in Mc Elhenny cemetary due to the gates being locked at ALL times . We also are not allowed to bury our father beside our mother ( an example). This is nothing less than HORRIBLE
My daughter lost her father and wanted to put him there with his parents and they told her no. It's all because of taking care of it when his mom died we mowed the grave yard for years we did the whole grave yard not just hers.
This is so wrong in so many ways!! For as long as our family has known this is where our Grandpa was to be buried , beside his family! Now these families have to be spread out everywhere and just anywhere we can find a spot!! There has to be a law against this!
People should have the right to visit loved ones. If a gate must be put up each main family member should be given a key. A lot of these older people are the reason that these churches exist. The church body shouldn't deny a person the right to be buried where they want to be.
I suspect that the reason for the excuse of a playground is that the business that bought it out wants to put a daycare in. They will need the cemetery grounds so their next move will be a notice that all the deceased will have to be relocated at our expense , of course!
