A Palm Beach County woman said precious mementos placed on her grandparents’ gravesites were brushed to the side and piled up against a fence.
It happened at the Lake Worth Memory Gardens cemetery along Kirk Road.
Carina Neddo said she was shocked to see that the items her family placed on her loved one’s headstone had been tossed aside.
She and her family visit the graves weekly but were shocked by what they saw during a recent visit.
“We found that my grandparents’ things — personal mementos that we had placed on the grave — were removed without our permission or notification from the cemetery,” Neddo said.
WPTVShe said her family’s mementos were very personal.
“There were special plaques that were bought in Ireland, where my grandpa is from, as well as a brass flag holder that showed that my grandpa was in the National Guard and that was missing,” Neddo said.
She later learned that many of the items were set aside in a back corner of the cemetery.
