I think the stigma comes from the fact while people know they will die, they don't want to be forgotten. They have to live on somehow. That's why we have the gravestones to begin with. A small bit of immortality. A promise we won't be forgotten.
Guess what, we all die. And animals and people will be crapping on us very quickly. Roads will be paved over us, and we will be forgotten very VERY quickly. Most of those gravestones don't even get visited by their families after 5-10 years. Yet still it's supposed to be sacred for some reason?

This type of thinking is exactly why people like this woman do selfish things. I respect your take on this and in some ways agree with you. But not everyone does, and we need to
respect that. Someone might come by and see dog crap on the grave of someone dear that recently passed, and that could indeed make them feel ever worse.
And to those that say well, holy over reaction. I don't see that, it's when people come along and say meh no big deal who cares. See above.
