(CNN) — A loving message on a headstone in an Iowa cemetery hides a foulmouthed joke in honor of the deceased man’s off-kilter sense of humor. The message has led to pushback from the Camp Township Trustees, who oversee the little cemetery in farmland east of Des Moines. A few days before the headstone was to be placed, Camp Township Trustees told them it could not be installed because of the obscenity, Lindsay said. Since then, the trustees have pushed to remove the headstone, a representative of the Camp Township trustees told CNN. The headstone may be particularly offensive to families whose loved ones are buried nearby and thus can’t avoid Owens’ headstone, they added.
