As it is widely known, every culture and religion has its own specific tradition. This tradition comprises many different rules and regulations that the adherents of that religion have to follow. Significant events in one’s life, such as death or marriage, entail specific kinds of customs that one’s religion prescribes. For example, a funeral service in any given culture, religion or even country follows certain rules and guidelines. Similarly, many cemeteries have their own rules and regulations, regardless of the kind of denominations it accommodates.
Many cemeteries have rules concerning flower arrangements and items placed or left behind at the grave site. Since cemeteries have to maintain their lots and grounds, some have scheduled cleanup days. On such days, cemetery personnel clean out wilted flower arrangements, plants or cut flowers. Some cemeteries prohibit the placement of glass or breakable vases and pots on grave sites. However, wreaths, casket sprays, flower crosses and floral arrangements that are in good condition or that have recently been placed after a funeral service can remain at a grave site for a period of time.
While visiting a loved one’s grave site, it is best to place unbreakable containers or vases that can be safely fastened into the ground and at the head of the grave. These measures tend to minimize attempts at removing fresh flowers and arrangements from graves. Many people place fresh-cut flowers such as carnations, chrysanthemums, roses and other assortments on graves.
