Rude traditional people

Years ago I remember there is a woman got sued by her suburban neighbors for having a vegetable garden because their suburb's tradition is to have a useless lawn of Bermuda grass. These jerks want every house to be uniform.
Now traditional people strikes again, A mom want to give tribute to her 4 year old son who died of extreme epilepsy. She saved a lot of money to give her son a teddy bear hugging a star as the headstone of her son's grave. This headstone is very expensive so it is very rude that the state council remove her son's grave stone without her permission because someone complained that her son's gravestone is not traditional. so the state council remove her son's gravestone without her permission. Now she have an online petition to bring back her son's gravestone to the cemetery.
Little Max Corbett-Gardener, from Malvern, Worcestershire, (pictured) was just four years old when he died following complications from his severe epilepsy.

That is why I do not like suburbs, they have this annoying uniform being followed from backyards to gardens.

She save up 5 years worth of her money to build this customize headstone. I really dont know why some people thinks a teddy bear is offensive.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I do not find it offensive. It is just a token of love from a mother to her departed son.

@arunima25 I guess the old school fashioned people, prefer religious symbols.

Some people cannot stand that others don´t want to be in uniform. They should have told the mom before she buried the child there if there were rules for the headstone.

Yeah whatever happened to individuality. People have the right to have the shape and size they want. They don't need to confirm to a certain standard.

@Mavic123456 Speaking of Mausoleums, I want to be rich enough to have one, so the family can have a reunion before the apocalypse before we got split up between heaven and hell. A shot reunion will be nice.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Ahh I see, because there are some cemeteries that have standard policies. When my mother bought their resting place, she chose a lawn, so we can put a tombstone (affordable). There are choices like ground, where the family can just put the name on the ground (cheapest) and niche (expensive) where the family can make an altar above the ground. and mauseleum (building).

The fact this mom gets a lot of support means the complainer is just a vocal minority for this issue.

@LadyDuck and they are aggressive until they get what they want even though the majority is against it.

@CaptAlbertWhisker This is often the case, the complainers are minority, but they are bullies.

@amitkokiladitya I am happy that this mom gets a lot of support from this injustice. She want to honor her son. She is not rich but she saved up money for 5 years so her son will have an expensive gravestone

Also a single complaint is all it takes? I really don't know why some people are being OCD about keeping things uniform.

@CaptAlbertWhisker very true. I cannot figure out any harm it could have done

Oh no. To me that sounds ridiculous and in the case of a child's headstone, really mean. I know I really would not want to live in a place where everything had to be according to someone else's idea of "right." Tell me how things work there. When you say state council, are those people who are elected?

@CinnamonGrl It is not like she have demons or monsters on the headstone. She have a cute teddy bear hugging a star because her son is the star of her life. She worked for 5 years to afford it. She have the right to have it. The council is now making a lot of excuses that it's an adult cemetery.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I know what you mean. We have some neighborhood associations in some places where they make all kinds of rules. I really wouldn't want to have to belong to one. And another thing, I think the headstone the mom wanted was so appropriate and sweet for her child.

Some people can be so disrespectful; they wanted to dictate what they wanted.

I hate it when people are like that,creating rules on how other people should live.I’ve never really heard of the the garden issue in the UK but I have heard of similar issues with Graves where someone has put things on a child’s grave and people have complained it breaks the cemeterys rules it’s disgusting.

The gardening complaints is more common in American suburbs. They want all backyards to have bermuda grass and flowers only.
Yeah what they did to this mother is disgusting.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Even in the suburbs in the UK you don’t here of stuff like that. The only similar thing we have is on certain old houses you are limited on what changes are ou can make due to the historical significance of the architecture etc.
