Ban dogs from tynemouth cemetery
Ban dogs in tynemouth cemetery as owners are allowing them to urinate and defecate on loved ones graves.
It’s very upsetting to come to a loved one’s grave and find owners have allowed their dogs to urinate and defecate on loved ones graves then to get verbal abuse for asking kindly to take their dogs away from the grave. No one should have to put up with this. A graveyard should be a serene place to sit with a lost loved one. We spend money for upkeep to how we want the graveside to look like and spend a fortune on the headstone costing thousands.
