For Kit Girtz, the Oakland Cemetery in Little Falls is a special place. Her mother, who died a year and a half ago, is buried there. Her father helped build the stone gates.
“Those are the ones I want to go through,” she said.
But the cemetery in her hometown has seen better days.
Community members and plot owners frequently complain about the upkeep: tall weeds around headstones, grass grown over grave markers and downed trees left untouched for weeks.
