Wolf told KPRC 2 that on June 22, her family realized the headstone was accidentally damaged by the crews at the Woodlawn Funeral Home and Cemetery.
“I went ballistic. I said, ‘Please, no, don’t do anything until y’all prove to us that it’s legal for y’all to move that. We need to see the deeds,’” Wolf said.Wolf said her grandfather Charles Robert Wygant was laid to rest here in 1951. The headstone and poem have been there for about 72 years.“I’m not asking for an exception; in my mind, I accept the fact that you want to make new rules from today forward but don’t go back and change what has been. This is history,” said Wolf.
“The original marker that was purchased was removed after being damaged by equipment used on property for routine maintenance and service. The replacement is expected to arrive within the next few weeks. “Our industry is faced with such variance in families’ wishes in honoring their loved ones, and unfortunately, we cannot always allow all the requests in our efforts to maintain uniformity in memorialization. We regret the family was allowed to have this second plaque on-site for so long, but the importance of enforcement fairly is very important to us.
