Family trying to to put final touches on loved one’s grave says cemetery is asking for more money

CALDWELL COUNTY, N.C. — A family trying to put final touches on their loved one’s resting place aid the company in charge will not fulfill its promise unless the family pays more money.

“It’s a very rough time. And you would expect a little bit of compassion from the people who have laid to rest your loved ones,” family member Gina Setzer said.

Martha Setzer died in 2020, but family members said it is now getting the runaround trying to get her name engraved.

Gina Setzer showed Channel 9′s Dave Faherty her mother’s crypt at the mausoleum at Woodlawn Memorial Gardens in Caldwell County.

She also showed the letter her mother got from the cemetery dating back to 1980, when she not only paid for the crypt up front, but also for the bronze lettering that would include her name, and the dates she was born and died.

“We went back and forth, back and forth, and I finally got in touch with the owner, and he told me his price went up and I would have to pay an additional cost to have my mother’s grave marked,” Gina Setzer said.
