Answer 2

I certainly understand why you would like your Grans grave to be beautiful.Look around at the other graves so you have an idea of what the other graves have. Do check at the office for rules. If the rules say not to plant flowers, why not throw some extra grass seed on the grave. It will come back year after year.

Answer 3

most places do not allow anything, it's weird how strict they are. MINT! Mint takes over anything it touches. They won't be able to get rid of it unless they pull it up from the ground. The groundskeeper might not mind it because it spreads low and when they cut over it, not only does it make the roots shoot out all over the area, it's smells wonderfully. We planted mint at my grandmothers grave because they have harsh rules about live flowers. Mint kind of looks like a weed when cut back. Mint is very easy to grow from cuttings of an existing plant. No one at first will even know it is there. I love mint! Jennifer

I like the arrangements that sit on the headstone, they are called saddles and can be arranged anyway you want, usually silk or fake flowers or greenery. Greenery will last longer and you can always replace flowers or accents. There is also a Cross I had put on my husbands that glows in the dark.

Just talk to them about anything else, some will and some won't.

Answer 5

In many cemeteries it is not. They will remove it or mow over it if it is in violation of their rules. They are always concerned that it will be unruly or invasive and make the graves look shabby.

If it is permitted pachysandra is a good choice as far as durability. Once it gets started it is evergreen and can be snipped to keep it under control.

Answer 6

Most cemeteries do not want you to plant anything. I plant bulbs in the fall that come up in early spring. Then when the grass needs cutting the flowers have died back.

Answer 7

you need to contact the cemetery manager first, as most cemetery's do not allow this type of thing to be done, usually only fresh flowers, and silks flowers etc in the pots at the headstone, at least in most public & private cemeterys in US.
only ones i know of that might allow what your thinking of is in small country cemetery.
Again go to who ever is in charge of running the cemetery and ask what their rules are for & regulations are for whats allowed on or near headstones, another choice you may have if they do not allow next to headstone, is some cemeterys have areas where tree's, brush's rose's etc can be planted in someones name.

Answer 8

i don't think they like plants at most graves -- you should ask. you can always take some flowers by -- they do allow that.

Answer 9

Answer 10

not allowed...usually the allow whatever fits in the vase..
