People should show more respect for the dead
Published Date:

ON a recent visit to Arksey Cemetery to lay flowers on my mum's grave I was disgusted to see dogs fouling and being let loose on loved ones' graves.
We have got teenagers playing ball games which cause damage to gravestones - including my mum's grave - litter disgarded due to there only being a few bins and people being lazy, graves getting vandalised and dogs urinating and excreting on our loved ones' graves. Also, it is a hazard to children to visit family members' graves if it has dog mess on the gravestone or near it; it can cause blindness if they don't realise they have it on their hands and they get it in their eyes.
Is it not time that people show more respect for the dead and Doncaster Council should make visitors more responsible for keeping dogs out of the cemetery and make sure litter is placed in bins.
I beleive bleive peopoe should pay mroe respect and I am sure you will agree. I am sure you wouldn't want dogs being let loose on your loved ones' graves would you?
