grave flowers

Tombstone floral offerings

Grave flowers are flowers placed on a grave or tomb to honor the dead.

They may be fresh, artificial, or dried, and are commonly left on memorial holidays or anniversaries: She brought grave flowers every year on her mother's birthday.

The practice spans cultures and centuries as a gesture of remembrance and respect.
