Just the effects of time

I asked the groundskeeper if the gravestones in this area had been vandalized, but he said they were just so old, some of them were falling over. I seem to recall that he said the K9 Corps has a plan to restore this part of the cemetery.

The problem of the falling gravestones is a problem in many older cemeteries. Love the spaciousnes here

Seems that gravestones are subject to old age too. V

What a shame I would think they would do something to keep them upright and looking as good as possible.
