What’s a grave blanket?

What’s a grave blanket?

A 'floral' arrangement of pine and decorations for Christmas. One for her grandmother was in the form of a cross. For her parents sort of a basket with pine branches, artificial berries, and pine cones.

My parents' grave is in Florida, and although I have family there I doubt that anyone maintains the grave.

It is about 4 and half hours for us one way and not certain it has been maintained as cemetery or turned into condos

Interesting. Is this something that you buy or make new every year? Do you do other holidays too? I know you don’t do pictures. I’ll have to google it.

Easter, some day of 'blessing' in Oct, and Christmas. Sometimes we buy, and sometimes the Princess creates something, and generally for Easter I plant bulbs plus something that will last all summer.
