Dead and forgotten ?

February 28,2006

The Office of Cemetery Oversight is vested with broad authority to mediate and adjudicate complaints involving cemeteries and burial goods businesses.

The Investigator for the Office of Cemetery Oversight, and I walked through your cemetery recently and took many photographs.

We were disappointed to see the current condition of your town’s cemetery.

Monuments are broken, headstones are lying on the ground, trees are growing over and around fallen tombstones.

While it is obvious the grass and newer graves are well maintained, it is sad to see the condition of the older memorials

 

 

 

In riding through Centreville, Patricia and I were impressed with the overall appearance of your town.

It is our hope that the obvious pride you have in Centreville will extend to your cemetery.

Sincerely,

George A. Piendak
Director
Office or Cemetery Oversight
