Beautiful, well maintained.

I have always have had big respect for park cemetery! It is always well maintained & cared for. But mqt eliminated the live on grounds sexton position & in my opinion this is right up there with one of the worst decisions mqt vould have made for all the families & friends of the deceased. Before you could just go up to the house or you'd see the sexton on the grounds to ask him anything. Theft was non existsnt.. I know people get extremely emotional when they cannot find their loved ones headstone but the sexton was always there to help. Now so many people don't know where to go to find information. Theft is on a rapid incline. (I went to my parents headstone to clean up around there & was utterly shocked to discover someone had dug up and stoke an ENTIRE rose bush that my mother had planted for my dad. It had been growing for 21 years & was huge! So many people came by to pick some rosehips when it was time or cut a small ckippings of it & I had no problem with that but they stole it all! It was almost 7 feet high!. I then learned there has been several thefts lately. Park cemetery is a wonderful place just dint leave any valuable item there. There us also a community garden way in the back. & gardeners will leave various food on a free table. If it wasn't for the 2 issues (theft & no sexton) I would have given Them 10 star!
