Is there an environmentally friendly substitute for silk flowers?

Posted by admin
Ecter asked:


Several loved ones are buried in distant cemeteries and I cannot go there to change out fresh flowers on their graves; yet silk flowers have to be thrown in landfills when they get old. These cemeteries do not allow flowers or shrubs to be planted, because it gets in the way of the lawnmowing.

Are there any alternatives?
No, unfortunately there are no built-in vases at each grave, so everything has to go either on a side vase, if the headstone has those, or on top of the headstone.

I had not thought of bird feeders; that is an idea.

      The old ones youre replacing you can be very realistic looking and if you change them and them on gravesite.
