A disappearing monument

This obelisk, in memorial to members of a Victorian family by the name of King, is gradually disappearing into the vegetation. Although Sighthill Cemetery is Category B listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB33623, it is need of considerable attention as regards to maintenance. No doubt this is due to Glasgow City Council's lack of staff and funds at this time.
