a year ago one of my partners highschool very good friend passed. She learned the news through social media. today i took her for her to pay her respects. We asked to the employees and said they didn’t have any idea where can we find his resting place. one employee lied to us saying there was not a way to find out where he was(even tho they are labeled with numbers) then she proceed to ask another person and that person have her a phone number. we called and his name is not even on their files. is this even normal? he gave us a time to meet with him because we asked. people pay so much money for this just to have their loved ones lost on a cemetery. It just very sad and infuriating .

Over the years, we have planted shrubs, flowers, and a little, maybe 4" high fence, all within the area they said we could around our parents headstone. Yet, everything keeps being cut down, removed, destroyed. But soo many other sites have so much more area taken up by trees, plants, shrubs, decorations, etc! Way beyond what we were told was aloud. There are many of our relatives resting there, many for a very, very long time, yet none seem to get the same respect as others. Everything has been destroyed or removed from our parents site. Been many issues before parents passed with our brothers site, Great Aunts/Uncles sites. Disrespect to one's final resting place is unbelievable and beyond wrong. Two of moms great granddaughters had the pleasure of spending a good bit of time with her before she passed. Been almost 8 years now and those girls still go to visit her. Imagine how they felt when their little fairy garden, well within the limits we were told that we could do whatever we wanted, was pretty much destroyed. Was under limit we were given, tiny fence was removed, anything and everything we've ever planted there or placed there, seem to end up ruined. Hoping to find a way to share pics of what's left.

Nice Cemetery most of my family is there and I planned on being buried there but this really bothers me to see this. Please don’t place trash can on a grave it’s VERY DISRESPECTFUL !!

Does Mellinger Mennonite do Green Burials? (no coffin, just a shroud)? I know Akron Mennonite does, but I'm looking for other locations. Thank you for your time and help.
