So sorry for your loss. I have lost a brother recently and I can only imagine the pain of loosing a child. For flowers, it really depends on your area of the country. I planted dwarf azaelas on my fathers grave. They don't get too big and when they bloom they are beautiful. But, that is in Florida, so, you might want to consult your local plant nursery or garden shop to find something that will stay manageable, not to big and will bloom in your area. Good luck.

I am so sorry for your losses. It is nice to want flowers on their graves year round. Some cemeteries do not allow planted flowers. You could get some type of large pot--urn of sorts--if it is allowed and if you live close enough to water the flowers regularily.
You might even consider artificial flowers. They would require less care and still be nice.
Good luck in your thoughtfulness.

FLOWERS ARE NICE BUT REAL ONES DIE AND ARTICIAL ONES FADE AWAY.
AROUND HERE PEOPLE PUT SOLAR LIGHTS ON THE GRAVES. (USE BATTERIES SO THEY WILL LAST LONGER.) YOU CAN GET ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT ONES SO AS TO MAKE IT PERSONAL.
AFTER A FEW TIMES CHECKING ON THE BATTERY LIFE YOU WILL KNOW HOW OFTEN TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES IN THE WINTER,

Rosemary is traditionally a plant for remembrance. It doesn't flower all year round, but is evergreen, and had that beautiful fragrance.
