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.

What kind of church is this that will put up gates or will not let their love ones be buried in there with the rest of their family and what with this preacher God does not like ugly and these people that are doing this or not God children.

This is a disgrace that the pastor of a church has the power to stop this disgrace for families that are hurting and instead they turn a deaf ear to those in need and are hurting.May God have mercy on you and your congregation because we don't.They are the most arrogant and rudest people that anyone could ever know.Just so people know all churches are not like that.God is LOVE.

My dad passed away october 15th, and i was hung up on by the pastor of the church. Not exactly how a preacher should present himself but here we are. Needless to say, i had to bury my dad elsewhere because they were straight up rude and said we were just wanting a free plot. My dad was never married, and i wanted him to be with his parents and the rest of our whole family but they wouldnt budge on the matter.

Leave these gates open. You people that are putting the gate and locking it, are greedy power hungry people, that pretend to be Godly. There is NOTHING Godly about what you have done. Do you think God is happy with your decisions to do this to a graveyard? How do you think God is going to judge this act of power that you doing? I pray for all of you that has done this.

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
