Putting a focus back on Fairview Memorial Park in Delaware County, Ohio

Sharing this link to a short news story and accompanying video from Channel 10TV  - WBNS in Columbus, Ohio.:  "Fate of Fairview Memorial Park still undecided" from their news reporter, Shelby Croft.

An excerpt from the story:

"Those with family members buried in the cemetery say it’s not being maintained and they just want the court case decided.

The receiver says the only money coming into the cemetery is from ongoing burials, about once a month so there is little to work with.

“Here we sit, two years later, still waiting for somebody to take it over, who’s going to take care of it,” said Tim Foor, who has family buried in the cemetery.

The case was back in court Friday, the judge is now writing a decision.

The families are planning a protest for Sunday at the cemetery at 1 p.m."

"This page is for people who have loved ones buried in Fairview Memorial Park in Delaware, Ohio, Suburban Memorial Park in Dover, Pennsylvania and Grandview Memorial Park in Ravenna, Ohio to discuss issues with the cemeteries."
