A white cross, over a date and a woman's name "but this is not my grave, it is my son's".
An absurd story told by a woman on Facebook in a post to which she entrusts her anger and her dismay at having discovered that after a therapeutic interruption of pregnancy, despite having specified that she does not want either the funeral or the burial of the fetus , he instead was buried in the Flaminio cemetery in Rome with a cross where the mother's name stands out.
A post to which the woman attaches the photo, bitter and macabre, of the cross with her name and the date of the abortion on it.
"When I signed all the papers relating to my therapeutic interruption of pregnancy, they asked me:" Do you want to proceed with funeral and burial?
"I replied that I did not want to proceed - recalls the woman - After about 7 months I withdrew the histological report, and thinking about the various articles on the absurdities about burials of conception products, I had a doubt. I decided to call the facility where I had aborted and I decide to contact the mortuary ".
After providing her name and surname, the woman discovers that despite not having given any consent, the fetus will be buried.
"They told me on the phone: 'Don't worry even if you have not signed for burial, the fetus will still be buried for charity: it will have its place with one of its crosses and will find it with your name'", says the woman, discovering precisely that on the cross is his name being the son "born dead and therefore never registered".
"It's all scandalously absurd, my privacy has been violated - concludes the woman - ... The field in question of the Flaminio cemetery in Rome is full of crosses with female names and surnames. I want to say that, despite everything, not I will never forget the humanity and kindness of the mortuary staff who followed my story for months ".
