Maybe a nice tattoo, or something I could plant at her gravesite?

Nothing like missing your mom; I know. My daughter, sister and I sometimes get together to talk and celebrate Mom, or one or all of us will make a big thing of getting something she liked, like cheesecake, and eating it and thinking of her. You could get her favorite flowers to put in your home or take them to a creek or river to symbolicly float them to her.
You might save the tatto for an anniversary, one of her birthdays, or whatever after a bit of time has passed so you make a good decision on one. You will never stop missing her, but it does quit making you feel like you have a hole in you stomach and spirit. When some healing has happened you will feel differently than you do now, so the tat may end up being a different one than you would choose today. Find ways to enjoy your life, every day, and that will be a very good way of always honouring your mom.

So sorry for your loss. My mother passed on suddenly and unexpectedly about 10 years ago, and I know that it takes a while for everything to get back to normal--the mother is the heart of a family.
I found that visiting beautiful places, such as a botanical garden or park, helped me to connect more with my mother, as she loved flowers and gardens. I went to a cathedral and lighted a candle for her. These are just a couple of ideas--I'm sure you can think of some things your mother enjoyed that you could do.
If there are pictures or videos that include your mother, you might consider taking them to a service that cuts them to DVD for permanent record (or you can also do this yourself with the right software and hardware).

do something your mom always wanted to do with you. like go somewhere special. have a candle light vigil around her grave and have everyone bring her favorite flower. have everyone say something that they loved about her and say something to her. a tattoo would be nice too if your mom would have wanted it. just make sure you give it alot of thought and make it something special. like an inside joke you two had. Im so sorry about your mom. losing a parent is to me the hardest thing in the world. youll see her again...

do something that she would like to have done while she was living, like if she was into gardening plant a memorial garden for her, or donate to a charity she cared for. my friend has a tattoo on her lower back for her late grandmother, with her name, birth and death years, and a rose. i think tribute tattoos are sweet.

I am so sorry about your mother. Maybe you could do something that she loved to do or something she was really into like baking something that she loved or volunteer at a hospital

sorry about your loss. i think the gravesite is just where her body is. maybe her name very elegantly somewhere close to your heart.

what thing you should do is make yourself, her child the best person that you can be. There no better way to honor a parent

No, just move on because she would want that. I bet she wouldn't want crying about her all the time, she would want you to live your life to the fullest.
