SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A local cemetery is spruced up on Saturday thanks to volunteers willing to give up part of their holiday weekend. More than a dozen volunteers, including some armed with weed trimmers, took to Washburn Street Cemetery in Scranton on Saturday.
They are with the non-profit Christmas Miracles from Heaven. They trimmed tall weeds and grass covering headstones, mowed the grass, and removed branches and other debris.
The cemetery had a reputation for being neglected in the past, and the group wanted to change that.
