Visiting my Dads grave Christmas morning has left me angry, upset and absolutely devastated, my dads grave that I visit and maintain on a regular basis as been completely disrespected, the cemetery workers have basically drove over the top with a digger, just shoved all his pots and ornaments from his grandkids to the top of the grave, broke his little fence we had at the bottom of his grave, the lights that went round the edgeing has been ripped out, in the process they have chipped out grandad vase and they have completely ripped out the mini conifer that was planted in memory of my nephew (my dads grandson) that passed away, to walk up to that on Christmas morning is devastating and the council should be ashamed of themselves… absolutely disgusting
