That would be the ideal Bifta,but the reality is that either the graves are totally neglected or the local council forbids any kind of unique individuality and insists on standardisation.All headstones same size,all flower pots removed no flowers so as to allow for the uniform cleaning up of said cemetary which half the time is very lax anyway.
Remove the headstones and scatter ashes that way it doesn't matter.Make them gardens for rememberance.Nothing sadder than looking at the grave of a person long gone that no one visits.
