Some people treat Maple Grove Cemetery as a dog park
Icon:
My husband and I have noticed lately that a lot of people seem to be using Maple Grove Cemetary as a dog park. There have been several instances where we have gone out there and have seen people walking their dogs or just letting them run freely.
We have also witnessed someone letting their dog run around urinating on headstones while the owner just walked around talking on their cell phone.
People pay really good money for headstones for their loved ones and to see the residents of bluffton treating our loved ones final resting place as a dog park is very upsetting to us.
We are just asking that people respect the cemetary and not treat it like it's a dog park. We would really appreciate it if you would please post this.
Thank you,
Scott & Amber Shough
