Other Information:

I have located my Ford family plot with no help from the city. The grave markers are missing, the plot is overgrown, and homeless people are sleeping there. I have many other family members buried in Maplewood and I'm very distressed that the city of Charlottesvile Virignia has stopped the perpetual care which they are requred to provided to those of us who's families bought plots in the cemetery. Three years ago the city removed the cemetery's caretaker. The only thing the city provides now is grass cutting and the man doing that is damaging the garve stones with his mower. It is appalling that this being allowed to happen and I want to put a stop to it.
