Jennifer is all those things and more! (Don't forget the wonderful sense of humour too. :)

The only thing with a plant is to check first that it is allowable because some cemetaries will not allow grave sites to be planted on. :( Most here are like that and I don't think it's very helpful to those left behind to deny them the right to personalise their loved ones plot. But I do, sort of, understand. Someone has to do the maintenance and if everyone started planting things that could get really messy and take up loads of space - maybe impinge on the person's next to their relatives plot etc.

Where my MIL is buried (ashes buried that is) we can leave little things on the memorial plate if we like. I have a little cat statue that I found for her that we will put there one day (because she loved her cats). Anything personal like that is nice - it can be as simple as something from nature that you want to share or it can be shop bought with meaning. Sometimes it's nice to give a commerative plant to the person who has lost a loved one. Often you can find something with a meaningful name. When Andrews Grandmother passed on (her name was Evelyn) I found a little patio rose (took a little bit of ringing around first) called "Angel Eve" and gave it to his Mom - she was very touched. If you have a plant like this you can then cut blooms off it and take them to place on the grave. It's a nice concept with a special feeling to it.
