DAVIDSON—When the snow is gone, town council intends to take a tour of Davidson’s Community Cemetery.

Coun. Todd Lockwood, who is also the community’s funeral director, suggested council go through the cemetery and look at it with a critical eye.

“The whole council should go out there and see what I see, because I’m the one who takes the heat,” he said, adding that the condition is not too bad, the biggest problem is maintenance, or lack there of.

One of the first tasks to address the maintenance issue is the removal of grave covers.

“A lot of communities have been heavy-handed and just removed them, but I think we could be more sensitive about it,” he said, suggesting that damaged and sunken grave covers be the first ones to be removed.
