Speaker 1 (00:00):
They talking about it. Yeah, they talk better than they
excited about it. These are the radio blogs on the
Fresh Show.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Were riding in our diaries, except we say them aloud.
We call them blogs.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Kick Ki go okay, dear blog.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
And I don't know if this has ever happened to
anyone else, but it was definitely a first for me
and my family. But over Mother's Day. You know, my
mom had passed on when I was nine, so it's
usually our tradition to go out and visit her grave
site every Mother's Day or every time it's her birthday.
I'm not a big gravesite girl, but my sister is.
And so this year, my sister went out to visit

(00:35):
the grave site only to pull up where mom has
been buried for twenty years and see that my mom's
headstone was not where it should be, so it was
just an empty space. What Yeah, they completely uprooted her headstone,
which is rather large, and moved it.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
And so where are they moving?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
So right, my sister sides looking around and she notices
that my mom's headstone is now across the way top
of someone else's headstone, which was crazy. So of course,
my sister, that's like a traumatic experience, like you gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Be on your on Mother's Day?

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Oh my god, yes, and the headstone moved.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
On top of another lady.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm like, you know, yeah, there's a lot going on,
and yeah, I had never experienced anything like that or
even thought that that was something they could do, especially
without notifying the family, right, And then why would.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
You do that on Mother's Day weekend?

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Come to find out, there were a lot of other
headstones that were randomly misplaced in that same area. So obviously,
my sister made a phone call that next morning when
they were open, and they immediately put my mom back,
but we went after yeah, after work yesterday, I left
here to go verify that she was back, and she was,
but other headstones were still displaced, and their excuse or

(01:57):
their reason was that that's normal procedure, that they do
that from time to time, but they just forgot to
put them back.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Excuse me, I didn't realize they ever moved headstone. I
thought it was there and that's where it stayed.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
That's what I thought.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
So at this point, I'm like, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Because they're just moving the headstone, right.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
That's what I said, Right, So the grass was still
o regular, right, because I was going to say, I'd
be like, yo, let's.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Let's just maybe dig up a little bit to see
if the cask is still there?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Right like this, It's just so lild to me that
they would actually do that, and that is apparently normal procedure.
So now just has me rethinking the whole family plot thing,
like family is there, and I'm kind of like, you know,
I might just want to be on somebody's fireplace.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
But here's what I want to know, and maybe somebody
can like email us or dm us and tell us
the truth. Because my grandparents are in what my mom
calls a condo. Okay, well you know they're dead, but
it's a mausoleum. Yeah, but it's a mausoleum in a building.
It's like glass and then the front of the little

(03:03):
container like it's like a basically a bunch of glass
shelving and you can put the urns in there, and
then you can put like little pictures and stuff, and
we put like a pottle of Tito's in there, and
my grandfather was a Tito guy. But my thing is,
I'm like, can you get it was expensive? And I'm like,
can you check the paperwork on this, because like how long,
right in fifty years or seventy five years or whatever,
like the Johnson and Johnson family mortuary. Can they just

(03:26):
take all that stuff out and then resell all the
same condo.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, it's very popular.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Like when my mom passed away, that was like one
of the options that my dad was considering. Like they're
like built into funeral homes. It's like a whole section
in the wing and it's just like just earns everywhere.
But then like they're like, well, you'd have to make
an appointment if you wanted to. I was like, I'm
not going to make an appointment to come see my
like see the Like.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
No, let's just keep it at the house. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Another thing is this this condo. And the other strange
thing is my grandparents. My grandmother picked the condo and
now she's in it, which is kind of weird because
my grandfather died first. The other thing is the the
condo had a view to the outside, a straight path
view from the little little compartment to the garden.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
They went and put up another set of development number
two over here. They put up another section right there
that's we paid for review that's right. So I'm almost like,
what happened to the view and.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
That you can't go altering people stop after that, that's right.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Crazy, But I'm just saying, like, you know, in fifty
to seventy five years, almost anybody, pretty much anybody who
ever knew them will be gone, So nobody would know
if they just throw all that away and the granted
they're not there, but I'm just saying, like we paid
a lot of money for that. I'm assuming in the
contract it's essentially just a lease. I'm assuming at some

(04:48):
point they can just get rid of all of that
and then just sell the same space again. Because what
are the grandkids supposed to do at the Johnson and
Johnson funeral home.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, that's another big fear of mine too, is they
say it happens a lot like if you obviously have
ashes in an earn and then like you know, it
gets passed down generation generation. But like my great grandkids
are not going to know who MyD like my mom was.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
You know what I'm saying, It just ends up people did.
The priests will say that it always.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Ends up in an attic and people are turning urns
into the church, like because they have like they.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Just lose because they never knew the person. So it's like,
what am I supposed to do?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
It is I've gone.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
To see like my great great great Nonah in Pennsylvania
and she's still there.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah. Maybe I don't know how long they are required
to keep it there though, because there's only so much space.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
There's only so much Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I mean if it has a little funeral like a
little graves whatever, yea, what do they call it where
the graves are?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
It has a plot?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, it has it has like a traditional funeral thing too,
where you can put the casket in the ground, right, yeah, whatever,
it has that?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
What am I thinking of? What do they call that?
Where all that is too? But they've built like a.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Target next to it and like it was like a
best Buy over there or something. So like there's only
so much room. So at some point, what do they do?
Tear the whole thing down, build something on top of Probably.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's you're not gonna put a Starbucks on my mind,
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
To get it together. Yea name, I am not playing
pay to put a headstone. Nobody told you to move
it right right? This is where I like my ashes
where you guys know, I bring them all over the place,
a little urn. I like them right where I can
see him. Yeah, it happens all the time.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
This happens all the time.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
I forgot to put it back. You couldn't do that.
I was gonna say, I wouldn't know about that one,
but
