The City of Richmond’s Maury Cemetery is in the news this week for all the wrong reasons. The local news at WTVR CBS 6 reported on one family’s disappointment at the treatment of a grandmother’s recent interment. Apparently, the casket (and its aboveground marker) have been moved by workers to different plots in the cemetery without the family’s permission, apparently for flooding concerns. “We spend a lot of money to place a family here, and there’s no respect at all. None,” the woman’s daughter told the reporter. The city offered a vague statement regarding a change in the cemetery’s management, but clearly there is more transparency and explanation needed.
