Headstone for my uncle
Hello there Mark,
My family wants a proper marker for my mom's brother as well. How do we go about this?
Grave marker or plaque
My uncle died when he was about 5 or 6 here. His name was Gordon R. Scarlett. It looks like there is a hedge where he is buried and a monument with many old gravestones attached to it. My cousin went to visit the garden a few years ago and did not find his gravestone. We would like to put a plaque or gravestone where he was buried. I feel like the children who died of abuse here are not getting the respect they deserve.
The gov't removed his stone and did who knows what with it. They should replace it at their cost. Since I know they won't do this, I am willing to pay to have this done myself. Gordon died in 1937, but all his sisters are still alive and tell stories about him. My grandmother never got over the loss of her son. She died 70 years after he died and still spoke about him. She called him her little "Ralphie".
He is very much marginalized in that there is no gravestone or plaque for him there.

My Great Grandfather Alexander Fraser
Hi Catherine, my name is Linda Fraser Osmon. My Great Grandfather is also buried there. Just through my Genealogy that I have been doing lately. Led me to my Great Grandfathers grave site here. When I started reading about this place I immediately became horrified at what I was reading. If there were 3000 Gravestones removed from here, where are they and where the hell are our family members remains. I would like to know before they did all this if my Grandfather or anyone in my family were notified about this. But the looming question is where are the remains. This whole story to me in ludicrous. This isn't making something beautiful, you can call it Gardens all you want. But lets call it what it really is a desecration of 3000 graves. For all we know our relatives could be buried under a parking lot. This is not right the whole things stinks.
Dead and buried with removed headstones
Could you please list the contact name for anyone who would like to inquire about providing a proper burial marker?. I have a grandfather and his brother buried here. I am not comfortable with how this burial was treated and that not only were these people marginalized in life but also in death.
Gravestone for our beloved Grandma, Emma Cameron
Hi John, Mark

Can someone please provide info on how they installed theirs?

We would like our grandmother to have a proper headstone.
My family recently found out our grandmother is buried here and we are not comfortable with her being in an unmarked grave. We are planning to purchase and install a proper headstone as we feel she deserves this respect in her final resting place- who do we contact?
Without a headstone, it still seems that she is very much marginalized, even in death.
BBQ area
I worked as film crew shooting at woodlands in 2000 and the BBQ area was still there and there was leaning stacks of 3 or 4 headstones leaning upright near what I recall was a green house near the BBQ area.
