Deborah, When my mother died in 1989, I moved several bushes that she had up to my house. When we moved in 1996 to where we are now, those same flower bushes moved with me and have spread. If I ever move from here to down size my home, some of those bushes will go with me then. I also hope my kids will do the same. If I decided to get rid of my grave sites in a Mem. Garden Cem., then I want one of each to be planted at my grave site. My mother loved her flowers and I like keeping them as a memory of her.
