The Issue

Vandalism, mower damage and debris

 

 

Random gravesite

 

Greenacres Cemetery or Moles Fairwell & Cremetory has been a respected and cherished final resting place for many families for generations in our community. However, we have recently become aware of a concerning issue regarding the care of the cemetery in general and each gravesite. Each family pays for this service when purchasing a plot and the signed contract must be honored. 

According to the sales agreement between the families and Greenacres Cemetery or Moles Farewell Tributes & Cremetory there is a fee charged for endowment care for each gravesite and cemetery. This means that there should be ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the cemetery grounds and each gravesite including regular mowing, trimming, and landscaping. The cemetery grounds and each site should be free of debris, dried grass and dirt. Each site should have grass planted in a timely manner following internment. If damage of any kind occurs at the burial site or on the marker it should be fixed immediately. 

Unfortunately, it has come to our attention this agreement is not being honored by Greenacres Memorial Park or Moles Farewell Tributes & Crematory. Many gravesites as well as the cemetery,  in general, are overgrown with weeds, grass, grass clippings, dirt/mud or other debris (animal waste) making it difficult for families to visit their loved ones in peace. Some areas of the cemetery have even become hazardous due to neglectful maintenance practices.

We believe that all families who have purchased plots at Greenacres Cemetery or Moles Farewell Tributes & Crematory deserve to have their loved ones' final resting places maintained with dignity and respect. It is unacceptable that these agreements are not being upheld by the cemetery management.

We urge Greenacres Cemetery or Moles Farewell  Tributes & Crematory to honor their commitment to endowment care for each gravesite immediately. Families should not have to worry about maintaining their loved ones' plots themselves or paying extra fees for services that were promised in writing.

Let us come together as a community and demand better from Greenacres Cemetery or Moles Farewell Tributes & Cremetory. Our loved ones deserve nothing less than proper care and respect in their final resting place.
