This is regarding the East Lawn Cemetery in Saginaw, MI on Holland Rd. I've been going with my husband for over 15 years to visit his Dad and Grandpa, both resting in the veterans section. For years my husband has complained about severe flooding in this section. Every year in the spring we cannot get to the graves, and every year in the winter we cannot get to the graves. The utter disregard and disrespect to the veterans is appalling. It's heartbreaking. There's others out there too, are we the only voices who care enough about these deceased veterans?! We've been given excuse after excuse for years, and finally this year we were given an address to contact, new owners. We were told there might be a tiling project in the future, but they're unsure of how many years away this will be. This is so unacceptable! It's already been too long. How do you grieve when you can't even get to the grave because it's under a foot of water?! Now an inch of ice! We went there today with a wreath, since I knew a blanket wouldn't work. My husband had to break chunks of ice off of the headstones with a hammer, standing in a foot of slush, freezing cold and in tears. To make things even worse, there's tire tracks going across my father in laws grave! I cannot wrap my head around this. I'm shocked, and deeply saddened. The staff is rude, very defensive, and quick to hand out excuse after excuse. Please, I beg the new owners to do something about this issue.
