“It’s been like years, years.. you can see it’s deteriorated,” said Beatriz H. Mauricio. She has multiple family members buried on the property, including her baby brother, grandparents and husband, Robert. One day, she’ll be laid to rest next to him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“There’s a lot of plots that are covered with mud, and it needs to be really revitalized, because, I mean, people are deceased,” Mauricio said. “I’m one to miss a lot of them, and I’m pretty sure there’s other people too, but a lot of them are afraid to speak up. I’m not one of them,” she said.<\/p>\n
We first told you about some of these same issues back in April of 2022. Chris Lopez voiced similar concerns back then.<\/p>\n
“We just buried my mother about a year ago, and the ground caved in, and they did nothing about it,” he shared. “We called and complained and complained and complained. Finally, we just had to do it ourselves.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
More than three years later, Beatriz and her daughter tell us things haven’t changed. They come to tend to Robert’s grave themselves almost daily.<\/p>\n
“There’s a lot of people here that really, really have complained in regards to the keep of the of the cemetery. It should be beautiful,” Beatriz said. “Let us know what we’re supposed to expect, being the fact that a lot of people pay a lot of money and then to come and see all of this. I don’t think that’s fair.”<\/p>\n
We called the property’s main office, but they were closed for the evening. We also reached out to the San Antonio Archdiocese, which oversees catholic cemeteries, and were told they’d get back to us.<\/p>\n
We’ll let you know what they say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – A years-long fight continues on the West side.
