Even with locks on the gates, and lights, both cemetery sites suffer from vandalism on a regular basis.  Also, being on a main highway, people who live here are disracted by whatever floral or even little houses and photographic displays have been put up close to the road.  Our Police Agencies take them down after a short period. This is different than causing the people who maintain the grounds of the cemetery.

Rather that critcizing the staff, people planning to have someone buried or interred there can call and they will send you a packet to be with your will or trust.

The main concern that parent’s of young drivers should have is that the glorification of their friend may not be appropriate and monuments just make it more difficult to explain that being drunk and slamming into a family and being responsible for death, not to mention parent’s and  legal fees, and perhaps spending the night in jail does not earn you a memorial.   I will check with  CHP Officer Tom Maguire when I see him to see if there was an ordinance passed prohibiting this  practice.

P.S. I have been to Casper and Gillette,Wyo and Billings, Mont. I would not brag if I were you.
