We visited a grave yesterday at Oakwood (city run cemetery) and have noticed that even since the last time we visited around two months ago that the grounds have gotten horrible. In the new burial sections near the old part of Oakwood coming in from Oakwood Ave, the land is full of hills and dips, sinkholes, etc… making it hard to even walk. But the headstones are also sinking and in various stages of falling over, if not done so and could fall on someone at any minute or with a slight nudge walking by. There were a dozen more we have seen toppled over in just one section and more heading that way since the last visit. We even saw one with a total open void underneath it where the ground had sunk. It was not like this 3-4 years ago when I use to walk the cemetery. One person thought it might be the water table has risen but whatever is happening is dangerous.

What is happening there? It almost looks like an earthquake hit looking in certain directions. How can this be fixed or what is being done before every marker falls over?

Thanks
