Yes, I’m well aware of all the other bad stuff that goes on. That does happen, unfortunately.
But consider that I had already been in contact with management prior to all this crap. They knew my name and phone number. And it was to obtain permission for certain activities, which I was given the all clear to do, but it wasn’t anywhere near a cemetery and totally unrelated. I would call each time and make sure their laws or ordinances hadn’t changed before I proceeded. This history does show me to be a concerned citizen, who is law abiding and wants to do things right and respectfully. He remembered my phone calls later when the trouble escalated. The employee was found to be in the wrong and was punished.
High ranking folks in law enforcement elsewhere were notified of just what all was going on should something happen to me. It’s sad when you’ve done absolutely nothing wrong and are there to visit loved ones and then it turns into a situation where you are rightfully concerned for your own safety because of an out of control employee and his coworkers who are out for revenge. It ceased to be about city property once it escalated further. I let management know again and again and again that it continued to occur. He knows who I am and has apologized before about it all. Yet it has continued.
Based on what you have shared, I would suggest that your next step is to asked to be placed on the agenda of the city cemetery board. More information about when they meet at the link:

I would suggest not get mad or upset when it is your turn to speak. State the facts. Let them know what is going on and what you have done. And that you are going to continue to see that the situtaiton is remedied to your satisfaction. Squeaky wheels get the grease. Let the city administrator squirm. Make sure that the city cemetery board knows you will be asking to be placed on the full city council agenda should they not deal with the situation. I suspect you will only have to talk for about a minute
(if that
).
Ever been harassed by city worker/s while visiting cemetery?
