    Comments: Thankfully my son is at a cemetery where there are compassionate people. We can decorate there as long as it's neat and not cluttered, we also have a time frame for before and after a holiday. For those cemeteries that don't allow any decorations at any time, you haven't lost a child and feel what we feel! hayeskent.com

    Comments: There needs to be changes made. People with children want to decorate their resting places and it is never over done. Let them do it. Who says they can't is getting out of hand. Please let us remember our loved one s the way we want.

    Comments: I don't think you can possibly understand what it means to us to be able to give our loved ones gifts and decorate their resting place. It is the only thing we can do now for them and it is the only thing that gives us a little comfort. If you do this, it will be detramental to alot of people. This is all we have left. Please don't take it away.

    Name: Heather Willnow on Mar 7, 2008
    Comments: My son was stillborn, so there were no special gifts beside what he was given the days before his funeral. His gravesite is the only place I could ever give a gift to him. It broke my heart when just a couple weeks after the funeral and his gifts were gone. The vases on each side of the headstone I always try to put nuetral colors so they will stay. I understand Pointsettas and obvious Holiday decorations being removed. But Ivory flowers that still look as new as the day I put them out there looked so much better then the vase sitting there empty. We know we can't have our Loved ones back, but, Please let us at least give them the gifts we so desired to give them in life.

    Comments: my son was murdered 11 years ago Joshua was our only child we have no other family left this is the only thing we can do for child we decorate with flowers and angels and Christmas we hang ornaments in the tree and decorate the grave with grave blanket. most people can buy there kids toys clothes ect. ect. but the bereaved parent can do nothing but put flowers on a cold grave... please dont take this from us...it is all we have left now. Society does not want hear us talk about our child they do want the reminder that if it can happen to us it can happen to them..... we sit in silence and cry for our child all we can do for them is sit by there grave and bring flowers to the grave there friends remeber them by bring little things to place on the grave.please dont take this from us...... if I may offwer a suggestion .let those of us that want to sign a contract with the caretakers that we will maintian the graves of our children , if at any time it is over grown and trashy looking the caretakers can step in and clean it up. but as long as it is neat and clean and tastfully done they are not to touch it........ I do realize there would have to be stipulations as to what is exceptable. that can be worked out between the parents and the caretakers individually.

    Comments: We all know that it's the people who mow the cemetery's that cause all the fuss...but I bet if one of their children passed they'd be the first ones who'd put an angel or something on the grave. Each owner of a plot should be responsible enough to know if you have lots of things then you need to do your own weed eating....just my 2 cents worth.

So stop being a dictator....and let the families have a place to celebrate the life that they miss so very much.

    Comments: It's more comforting and less depressing to go to a cemetery that has decorations on the graves than none. The tinkling of windchimes and the beauty of flowers and mimentoes are uplifting and don't hurt anyone so why the problem!
