Cemetaries are supposed to be sacred places

To the editor:
I am 91 years old and once a week, I go to the Willis Cemetery in Dummer to water the flowers on my wife and daughter's graves. The cemetery is well kept. This place is sacred for me. About 50 feet from my lot is a newly closed grave. This grave was loaded with garbage consisting of empty beer bottles and cans. What a sad sight!
A cemetery is holy ground, like a church, not a place to run your dog or to have beer parties and leave your rubbish behind. How can people, if they have any decency, do something like this?
