The Liberal Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell has welcomed the decision of Remembrance Parks Central Victoria’s (RPCV) CEO Lauretta Stace to restore all headstones at Pine Lodge Cemetery to the traditional angled beam style.
Greater Shepparton families were left outraged to learn recently departed loved ones laid to rest at the cemetery were provided with a flat piece of concrete rather than the more prominent angled headstone used throughout the rest of the cemetery.
Ms Lovell said she discussed the change of headstone style when she met with Ms Stace recently in Shepparton and was pleased that the CEO had listened to the families and reinstated the traditional angled beam headstones.
“I am delighted that the new CEO of Remembrance Parks Central Victoria has listened to the Shepparton community and will now restore all current and future headstones to the traditional angled style beam restoring uniformity throughout the entire cemetery,” said Ms Lovell.
