Loved ones deserve tidy cemetery

I was very disappointed to see the condition of Cedar Memorial Cemetery this year when I went to place flowers on graves. Never has it looked like it did this year.
What happened to perpetual care? Some markers were almost hidden with grass that needed to be clipped away and picked up. I think it is time to invest in a catcher for grass clippings when the cemetery is mowed.
Most people who bury loved ones expect to see a nice tidy place for them, especially on Memorial Day.
