But we dont sell them in stores like what Michaels and that are....instead they are either in shops where you can buy the headstones or funeral homes have them and in areas where the PI commuity is large they have shops that sell them along with their large lace blanket things they put over the graves...alot of work goes into their things for their passed loved ones.Bronwyn Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653410396012033716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951098518244585722.post-10814345416315475312009-05-07T06:16:00.000-07:002009-05-07T06:16:00.000-07:00You know what's really morbid...

It's all about money and different cultures. I alway take live plants to the cemetery. You would be surprised how many of these I see going out the door. They litter the sides of our roads at religious shrines where someone has died. The local cemeteries are full of them.Merlenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951098518244585722.post-7662912473515055482009-05-05T07:25:00.000-07:002009-05-05T07:25:00.000-07:00I think it's a sign of our economy.
