Cemetary Tells Family That Profanity Isn't Allowed On Son's Headstone

[Initech]

LYNN — “Inappropriate language,” including the F-word, is not welcome in Pine Grove Cemetery.

Cemetery commissioners this week rejected a local family’s request Tuesday to inscribe their son’s grave stone with a verse that, commissioners said, includes two examples of profanity.

But Sonny Santiago’s mother and sister-in-law said city officials misunderstood their plans, adding they never intended to have profanity carved on the 23-year-old’s headstone.

“I’m not doing nothing but taking care of my son,” said Santiago’s mother, Ana DeJesus.

Sonny Santiago died in an Essex Street motor vehicle accident on Feb. 23 and Ruggiero Funeral Home of East Boston oversaw the 23-year-old Fayette Street resident’s burial in Pine Grove in March.

Would the cemetery be OK with them printing YOLO on there?
