Christmas was always a big deal to Richard. So we put out a Christmas tree at his grave and one at my mom’s grave which is located right behind Richard’s. We used live trees, intending to plant them somewhere later.
They were in pots. We just dug into the ground and buried them up to the rim of the pot.
I made a trip to the cemetery today. Where once there were Christmas trees there are now holes in the ground. The picture above is where our tree once stood.
Our cemetery has a rule against artificial decorations. They allow an exception during the Christmas season. During Christmas we are allowed to place wreathes and other artificial decorations. At the end of January the artificial decorations must be removed.
I never thought a real live tree would fall under this rule.
But it seems my definition of artificial is much different than the staff of the cemetery.
Very aggravating.
