Cemetery's Hall of Shame!

Vandalism is bad enough in
Elmwood and Pinewood
Cemetery, yet we have to worry
about damages done by lawn
mowers too.

Charlotte City Council contracts
cemeteries lawn service out.

Lawn Company uses mowers
that are too big and set very low
for the terrain of the cemetery.
This causes scraping, chipping,
breaking and toppling of the
headstones and damage occurs.

Many of these headstones are
works of art and can never be
fully replaced. The city does not
own the plots or the headstones.

North Carolina State Laws are
being broken and the city is
fully responsible and this must
be stopped. If not, Elmwood and
Pinewood Cemetery will become
a gravel pit.

This shows what your taxes are
funding!

Damage Cause By Big Lawn Mowers.

Damage of Scraping, Chipping By Lawn Mowers.

The fourth Ward Neighborhood needs a Dog
Park. Many people are not cleaning up after
their dogs business. Our headstones are in
honor of our love one's not have dog crap on
them.

Signs are posted in both cemeteries that
state the rules and city ordinances. Still
these ordinances are not followed or
enforced.

Historic Preservation of Elmwood and
Pinewood Cemetery has spoken with city
officials numerous times. Nothing has been
done by city officials stop this. Animal
Control told city officials that dogs should
not be allowed in the cemetery.

Seems that our city officials have no respect
for our cemeteries or citizens!

The Fischesser's monument has
been pushed away by the large
lawn mowers. This shows how our
city and cemetery officials care
about Elmwood and Pinewood
Cemetery.

Here are the Dogs remains left, so the family
has a token for their plot. We thank you city
and cemetery officials for allowing this, not !
