[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would rather have a quiet place of reflection for the life memories I built with the person. And not have to step over the poop to place fresh flowers on the grave.[/quote]

No one is stepping over poop. Try again[/quote]

How do you know that NO ONE is stepping over poop? Have you scooped ALL the poop? Of ALL the species?
And I don't want noisy gentrifiers interfering with my quiet meditation at a grave either. Some things should be kept sacred.

Then I hope you and your loved ones are buried in a family cemetery on your own private property. You will need a tall fence too.

I don't really like dogs at all and they gross me out, especially their poop. But the improvement upkeep of CC in the years since this program started has been phenomenal. I love to take my kids there for sledding in the winter. If a cemetery taking up valuable real estate in a hot neighborhood were not meant for some community events, I suspect you would be moaning about it being a waste. I don't know where you get your stridency about what is or isn't acceptable activity for a cemetery. If cemeteries in, say, Anne of Green Gables weren't open half the plot points in those books would have no setting![/quote]

My stridency is from my personal belief. I do not prefer to go sledding in cemeteries. I also don't live in an overpopulated city. While I don't forsee myself being buried with the U.S. congress, we do have a private family plot and property where many relatives that have passed remain. We do NOT stand on their graves even when we go to visit. This isn't an uncommon practice. You should have respect for others beliefs and considerations.

For me - no sledding, no dog waste areas, no Pyscho concerts! Trees, memorial gardens, ponds, yes. Open to someone that wants to host a Grateful Dead concert? No.

So basically you don't even live here. Thanks for your input on our local cemetery, Missouri. [/quote]
