TUNKHANNOCK, WYOMING COUNTY- People say a cemetery association is disrespecting the dead. We found a large pile of brush in the back of the sunnyside cemetery in Tunkhannock, filled with flowers and flags. People in Tunkhannock say they were ripped off the headstones and grave sites by the cemetery association. One woman tells us she wasn't given notice before flowers, memorial stones and even wind chimes were taken from her loved ones grave. The president of the cemetery association tells us the items were removed because the families did not follow the rules of what they could put at the grave sites.
