In Rouen, Claude can no longer access his wife’s grave, the cemetery is “too poorly maintained”

“I just wanted to leave flowers, but that’s not possible. » Claude is angry. A few days ago, the sixty-year-old wanted to organize a family ceremony in tribute to his wife, who died and was buried at northern cemetery from Rouen (Seine-Maritime) for a year.

Except that when he went there, he noticed that the tall grass had invaded the tomb and its surroundings, making it almost inaccessible. “It’s scandalous,” he complains. There was a meter of grass. »

The poorly maintained cemetery, the town hall alerted

Not necessarily accustomed to using social networks, Claude, overcome with emotion, published a text on Facebook in which he shared his dismay. “When will Rouen town hall maintain the northern cemetery? Unable to access the tomb from my wife despite multiple messages,” he wrote.

Asked by 76-, he assures that the problem “is not new in the Northern cemetery. A lot of people complain about the maintenance. It is too poorly maintained.” Many comments under his publication confirm his feeling. Claude then decides to alert the town hall of the situation.

“After verification, mowing and weeding were carried out in the Mont-Gargan, Saint-Sever and Monumental cemeteries, but for the one in the North, a slight delay is in fact notedThis will be done very soon,” replied the Rouen town hall.

Still according to the municipality, “for this week, our teams are trying, depending on where the ceremonies take place, to provide access to the graves”.

In 2023, a resident of Oissel had already warned about the problem of abandoned graves and weeds, but this time in the Mont-Gargan cemetery.
