Joanne Cullen of North Bellmore, Long Island is now seeking $5 million from the cemetery’s operator, citing extreme emotional distress and trauma. In December 2016, Cullen was bending down at her parents’ headstone to adjust a wreath when a sinkhole opened beneath her, “swallowing” her up to her hips in soft soil. As she fell, she hit her head on the gravestone and cracked a tooth while trying to steady herself. The “terrifying and traumatizing” event occurred at dusk, and no one was around to hear her calls for help. Her suit claims that after the horrific event, she has suffered recurring nightmares, requires counseling, and can no longer bring herself to visit the cemetery. “We want to make sure the cemetery and employees learn from this,” stated her lawyer. “We want to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.” Ms. Cullen’s lawyer, Joseph Perrini, believes the sinkhole occurred due to an underground void left by workers backfilling an adjacent gravesite. Sinkholes occur when rainwater accumulates above an underground cavity or loose soil, causing the earth to compact and sink under the weight. This is a relatively common problem in areas where bedrock is soluble and soil is susceptible to flooding, and can pose a safety concern for cemetery visitors. In 2014, heavy rains caused dozens of coffins in a U.K. cemetery to sink further into the ground, causing a series of holes. A Los Angeles cemetery suffered similar damage in 2017, also after a period of prolonged rain. In New York state, the historic Hillside Cemetery is making plans to fill sinkholes left by disintegrating wooden caskets to ensure no visitors injure themselves in the sunken graves. St. Charles Resurrection Cemetery is owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, which operates several other cemeteries in the area. The Roman Catholic cemetery boasts a long lists of famous residents and is supported by endowment.

Passare to Partner with The Domani Group published first on YouTube via Tumblr Passare to Partner with The Domani Group Our friends over at Life. Death. Whatever have created an extraordinary movement that is inspiring people around the world who follow them on social media. Five Things is a collection of five things that LDW collaborators want people to know about life, death and everything in between. Since the launch earlier this month, the LDW posts on Twitter and Instagram have attracted a huge following. As Louise and Anna (the two forces of nature who co-curate LDW) explain, “We need to talk and let each other know what helps, what doesn’t help, what we want and what we don’t want. Sharing best practice, sharing ideas, sharing stories, sharing lessons, sharing experiences.” Some of the posts have been extraordinary, some heartbreaking, some informative, all inspiring. The authors of contributions range from leading practitioners in end of life care, through professionals working with those who have died and bereaved people, to individuals sharing the things they learned through personal experience of grief. We were delighted to be invited to send in our ‘Five Things’, which you can find here, sitting alongside contributions from many of the people we most admire in funeralworld. Among these, a number of GFG Recommended funeral directors have offered their ‘Five Things’. You can see thoughts from Lucy Coulbert (The Individual Funeral Company) here, from the team at Poppy’s Funerals here, from Sarah Jones (Full Circle Funerals) here and from Toby Angel (Sacred Stones) here. If you would like to contribute your own ‘Five Things’ then e-mail Anna and Louise at [email protected]. And if you’d like to follow the project as it evolves, then follow Life. Death. Whatever. on their various social media platforms using the hashtag #FiveThings Five Things will culminate in an event in central London in October – we’ll definitely be there to see the installation in its full glory.
