I'm mad. Just plain mad. I have called the funeral home and been in there throwing a fit about Maddie's flowers. I can't seem to get a straight answer to where they went. One guy told me they must of got stolen. STOLEN really? Yeah right dude. The funeral home called James telling him they moved them for a funeral and broke her butterfly yard sign. So they NEED to put her stuff back. I am going back out there tomorrow and her stuff better be there or I will not be nice this time. I don't know who else to talk to. I think I have talked to everyone there. I know they are just "things", but they took these "things" from my daughter. Special things. A cute bow I made just for her, special flowers, and an angel statue that was given to her. They are not just "things" to me. They are the only thing I can physically give to her. They mean everything to me and for them to take them and say they were stolen is just plain ridiculous!

Oh Kellie....this makes me so sad! I'm sorry you have to deal with this being as you've dealt with so much already. Put your foot down and spread the word. Write a letter to your local newspaper if you have to...they'll cooperate then! Thinking and praying for you <3

My family went through a similar situation and after exhausting measures with the funeral home, we contacted the funeral director's association in our state. They function as a "better business bureau" of sorts and will help you sort it out. I hope this helps!!
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this!
I agree the media is good at getting things done when you are getting the run around.
I'm sorry they're putting you through this crap! You shouldn't have to deal with it :( I'd be furious.
People actually will steal stuff from graves, though. Someone came and stole a wind chime from my uncles grave, and we knew it couldn't have be the gardeners because they hadn't messed with that stuff ever, and nothing else was moved or taken. Some people are awful.
That just is wrong, but have been reading in the news that stuff is being stolen from graves, but the funeral home does need to make it right for cryin' out loud.
Oh, that is just so wrong, but have been seeing in the news that things are getting stolen off graves around town. But keep to your convictions and have that funeral home make it right!
Kellie, you know what your doing is right and if you have to go in there and be mean, I feel sorry for those workers that encounter you. My heart breaks that after everything you have been dealt so far, you now have to deal with this. Praying for you and your family.
So sorry to hear what happened. But as sad and disgusting as it is, people DO steal stuff from cemetaries. Last year, we had bushes stolen from my Grandpa's grave twice and the flowers are always taken. It makes me so angry and sad.
i'm so sorry that happened to maddie's things. once i had put solar-powered lamps on my twins' grave, and the funeral people broke one when they were mowing and threw it away. i called them to find out what had happened (also furious, crying, etc.) because one was missing when i showed up for my daily visit. they dug the broken lamp out of the dumpster and i picked it up and put it in their memory garden in my yard. they are usually compassionate people so i hope they can help you get her things back, or at least apologize because of course they didn't break them on purpose.
Your feelings about those things dont need to be justified to anybody they simply need to be put back. They say the squeaky wheel gets greased so squeak on!! Good luck I hope they do right by Maddie and by you.
Oh I am so sorry Kellie. I have actually heard of things being stolen from cementeries. My friends headstone was taken and several other graves had the vase stolen. It is so upsetting that people would do that to people already dealing with the heartache of losing a loved one. Hope they can give you an answer.
So sorry that you are not getting anywhere with the funeral home. I agree media is a great place to go when they wont listen. My friend has two angel babies and she put a statue out for each of them and their own momentos and someone did in fact steal them. How heartless do you have to be to steal from a babies grave. I hope they are returned so you don't have to spend your time looking for them.
