Went to visit my mom's grave. Her headstone was buried under this dirt, so we couldn't leave flowers.

Were they digging another grave? 6ft of dirt piles up but they eventually put it all back. Definitely upsetting it happened the day you went to visit but I’d bet it would’ve been clearers up before the next day.

This sucks, but you can see that it’s just for digging up another plot. They also have plywood sheets down to protect what’s underneath and so they can clean it all up afterward. I’m sorry you picked this particular day, but this is the reality of this sort of thing. Care was obviously taken to not mar the headstone/ground underneath. Not much you can do about it unfortunately.

All you people talking about freaking out and suing the cemetery need to relax.

Someone else was being buried, sorta sucks but when they dig a grave the dirt has to go somewhere while they get the hole ready to drop the casket into it. Sucks but things like this happen.
