Summary: If it weren’t for occasional markers in the grass that list names, birthdates and dates of death, no one would ever know that a stunning park with ocean views in Midtown Ventura, California, was once a cemetery. In 1964, workers removed hundreds of tombstones that filled these seven acres. Some of the graves went back more than 100 years. But the property had become overrun with weeds, and many of the tombstones were broken. So the cleanup began... and so did a never-ending debate. This is Cemetery Memorial Park.
