Graveyards are the places where people’s loved ones are laid to rest after they die. They never take lightly when someone attempts to disrespect their loved ones’ graves by walking or sitting on them. Bringing their dogs to the cemetery implies allowing them to urinate or defecate in other people’s plots, which is illegal by city ordinance.

On Father’s Day, OP intended to visit his father’s grave in the cemetery with his mother. They spent some time there after setting flowers on his father’s tomb, and during their visit, a boisterous family arrived at the cemetery. They began placing chairs and blankets on the graves around their gravesite. OP simply ignored them and remained silent, allowing them to conduct their business. A third car pulled up, and two dogs leaped out and began rushing about eagerly. OP became irritated because it was clearly stated on the entrance that dogs and motorcycles were not permitted at the cemetery. Read the entire story to see how the family reacted when OP told them that they couldn’t bring dogs there.

1. OP cautioned against bringing dogs to the cemetery.

2. When OP went to his father’s grave with his mother to commemorate Father’s Day, a noisy family entered the cemetery.

3. A third car rolled up, and all the other people started hooting for their coming.

4. Two dogs descended from the car and began racing around. OP also owned dogs, so he didn’t mind having them around.

5. The issue was that dogs and motorcycles were not permitted in the cemetery, and it was considered disrespectful to urinate and defecate on the graves.

6. The boisterous family observed that OP and his mother were unhappy with the dogs, so they called them back. OP reminded them that dogs are not allowed.

7. They clarified that their dogs were not injuring anyone. The OP explained that it was about respect because the dogs could defecate on the graves of others’ loved ones.

8. The family accused OP of hating animals.

9. OP explained that he had dogs that he loved, but he did not bring them inside the cemetery out of respect.

10. They said that the dog family had come from out of town and was unfamiliar with the place’s regulations.

11. OP refused to accept the justification because the locals could have informed them of the rule, and the law applied to everyone who came to visit the area.

12. They labeled OP disrespectful for ruining their father’s day, thus OP had to leave the premises.

13. OP called Animal Control, who was already receiving calls from others about individuals having their dogs in the cemetery.

14. The dog owners called OP disrespectful, so he took revenge by filing a complaint with Animal Control for bringing dogs into the cemetery.

OP informed them that they were breaking the regulations by bringing pets to the cemetery. They claimed that because the dogs’ owners lived outside of town, the law did not apply to them. OP attempted to explain to them that the law applied to everyone, regardless of whether they were locals or not, and that they were disrespecting the graves by sitting on them and allowing their dogs to damage the cemetery. They rebuked OP for ruining their father’s day, so he left and phoned Animal Control to deal with the irritating family. He discovered that numerous people had reported to Animal Control about them, and the officer had gone to deal with them.

Now that you’ve heard the story, let’s dive into what Redditors had to say. Keep reading to discover other people’s perspectives on the matter.

15. Yes, it is odd to camp in a graveyard.

16. Redditor dislikes the fact that they covered the other graves with blankets.

17. That is savage!

18. Redditor states that it is disrespectful to put blankets and chairs on other graves.

19. According to OP, the officer told them to get out after giving them a citation.

20. Redditor has to face such a situation frequently because he lives right by a cemetery.

OP did the right thing by confronting them because their acts were rude and violated the cemetery’s guidelines. Coming there to honor their loved ones does not imply that they are unconcerned about other people’s graves. They physically placed chairs and blankets on other graves and didn’t feel guilty about going and racing around with their pets. It should be reported immediately, and they should be fined.
