Woman who cleans random graves for a living is dividing opinion as some call it 'disrespectful'

A cleaning influencer has been receiving backlash after filming herself sprucing up old or abandoned graves on TikTok.

The creator, who uses the handle 'The Clean Girl', rolls up her sleeves and gets to work scrubbing neglected graves as she believes 'everyone deserves a beautiful resting place'.

However, her kind deed has somewhat backfired after some viewers claimed it was disrespectful to touch the graves without permission.

Speaking over one of her viral grave-cleaning videos, she says: "Let's clean a random grave. Who do you think is buried here? Let's clean it and find out.

"So many questions how old is this grave. It looks like it's been here for 500 years, how did this grave get so dirty?

'Wow, there's a tree growing out of it. I love plants."

The influencer continues: "This transformation was extremely hard for me but I believe everyone deserves a beautiful grave.

"Okay, so I did some research. A woman is buried here and she has two brothers - like me."

The video goes on, and in the end the grave is looking pristine - she even throws away the withered, old flowers that lay there and replaced them with fresh ones.

However, not everyone was best pleased after watching.

Commenting on the TikTok, one user wrote: "I don’t think it’s okay to switch the flowers because they are from a loved one as a simble [sic] of love."

And they weren't alone, as another person agreed: "I guess its fine to just clean it but something about she changing the flowers and taking away the other sorts of plants on it doesn’t feel right."

While a third added: "I don’t think you should take stuff away bc it’s probably from a friend or family and you should not take it and put new one."

And it didn't stop there, as another person chimed in: "You have to ask family members before cleaning it."

Meanwhile somebody else commented: "The vacuum felt so disrespectful."

But there were a lot of people who found what she was doing endearing.

One of which took to the social media platform to say: "It might seem disrespectful, but imagine being a family member and coming to visit and arriving to a beautiful and clean grave. I’d feel so happy"

While another, claiming to be related to the person whose grave it was, added: "Thank you For Cleaning my grandma's Grave."
