Family should own grave digging through mistake of municipality

The burial businesswoman had accidentally a shovel lying in the trunk of her car, which the family itself could start, reports RTV Noord. ,, Then sack you even through the ground. ''

On the day of the funeral of the woman's family picked her ashes at the crematorium. It was in an ecological urn, which decays over time and becomes one with the earth. ,, We think that's a nice thought, '' said the 44-year-old daughter of the woman against the broadcaster.

,, When we arrived at the cemetery, the funeral was already waiting on. "I have to tell you something," the first thing she said. "They have not dug the grave." Well, then you just sack the ground. I find it disrespectful. ''

Mourning Process
The woman's mother wanted to be buried in Veenhuizen because she grew up there. ,, A funeral you can only do once, '' said the partner of the daughter. ,, And it's not exactly a day you crave. It is part of the grieving process, and you just want orderly manner. ''

Eventually, the family had to itself, the scoop stabbing into the ground. ,, Together with my brother we dug a hole. After the ceremony we are opening themselves poem again. In itself a nice thought, but we still think otherwise. Compacting the ground is still very weird when you have to do it ourselves. ''

Apologies
The municipality Noordenveld has now apologized in a letter. ,, It was a stupid mistake and very emotional for the relatives. But we can not straighten more, '' said councilor responsible Reint-Jan Auwema against RTV Noord.

,, We are just forgot to arrange a gravedigger. Very simple, but poignant. "" The municipality wants to do everything to avoid such mistakes in the future. The family gets back the money paid for the gravedigger.

,, Still, it was a bell or a bunch of flowers was in place, '' said the daughter. ,, Is the urn ended up in the wrong place? No. It is a beautiful cemetery? Yes. But it's not there. I had proposed this day very different, this kind of thing should not happen. ''
