Yes i have for four years now, cant get down to my moms resting place, i put flowers in her vase, every birthday, the anniversary of her death, mothers day, its been 28 years never missed her we use to go every week, but we are older with disabilities my 3 brothers still go to the grave, my daughter and oh to to put some on, but i still put them in the house by her photo as i can see them to...
when i buried my sister 2 weeks ago threw a rose down on her coffin from my mom .......

We only had the one wreath on the coffin when my mother was cremated.

Because crematorium flowers are just dumped we took our wreath back to the village hall afterwards as a centre piece.When all the tea and sandwiches and stuff had been hoovered down we sent the old ladies on their way with a bunch of the flowers from the wreath and threw away the greenery.

will do ann

it's a lovely idea. i don't do it but my Dad always used to have flowers beside my Mum's photo because she loved flowers.

PS Give our love to Howie when you see him.

I have often done it if I couldn't get to the cemetery at the appropriate time, also sometimes hold a couple of flowers back from those left to keep at home in a vase, as a sort of link.

So do I, you get to remember your loved and enjoy the flowers also and every time they catch your eye they remind you..xx

you feel so awful when you can t make it helen dont you to leave some flowers,
im sure theyd see it if you did the same,
the flowers lift your spirits too

dad manages to put flowers for mam often,
id wondered what to do to mark the occasion,
as it was the weather sorted that out,

me and daughter popped up dads house yesterday with her little girl, so she gave him a chuckle,

i like the candle idea too donna
thats nice

Yes, I have always lit a candle and bought a bunch of flowers for my house whenever I have been unable to go to the Cemetery.

No I have never thought of doing that ,but now you have mentioned it I think I will do that.I am 6 hours away from where my parents are buried so don't get there often.
Think it is a lovely idea.

couldnt leave mum some roses for her and dads 50th anniversary,

gave dad a white rose plant to keep, hes placed it in his kitchen window, i knew dad wouldnt forgot x
he told me to keep the bunch of roses and carnations i got for mam by her picture at home , so thats where they are , in the hall by a pic of their wedding day,

does anyone else keep flowers at home for celebrations like this
