Would you want this to happen in a cemetery where your loved ones are buried?

A lawsuit was filed on Friday on behalf of nearly 400 plaintiffs with loved ones buried at the Tildenville Oakland Cemetery in Oakland, Florida. The Tildenville Oakland Cemetery was established in 1947.

The lawsuit echoes concerns that have been voiced for the past several years. The lawsuit alleges the developer’s of a nearby subdivision constructed an additional entrance roadway, which detoured drainage in the area. The 380 families allege the water is now being dumped into the cemetery. Relatives describe graves and remains being submerged above ground after flooding.

It says the developer’s “approval and construction of the culvert to divert runoff water from the new drive into Longleaf at Oakland and dump the water, instead, into the Oakland Tildenville cemetery, the defendants desecrated the resting places of the families and the loved ones.”
