Grave Decorations: What's Appropriate?

Dear Ask a DnD Monster:

My nephew passed away March 2006, and we try to get out to the cemetery weekly. We usually decorate and clean up the marker site, and we even edge the grass, sometimes.

The cemetery has a new manager, now, who ripped off all the decorations. When we complained, he said the policy had been "updated," even though nobody who has lots in this cemetery ever got anything about a new policy.

He's been unwilling to compromise at all and, in fact, once said we could go ahead and get legal counsel all we wanted, because it's a private cemetery and there's nothing we can do about it.

Is this true? Can a cemetery manager actually forbid family members from decorating markers on sites they've bought?

Signed,

De-flowered

When you see manager, he turn to stone. Yes. Good. Pretty, pretty stone. So hard. So warm in sun. Take away itchy scales. Good stone.

Make him stone, then put pinwheels or whatever on grave marker. Grave markers also stone. Stone good. Stone sweet. Make whole world stone, yes.

You gaze at manager. Bite if he come too close. Eat him good, too, but stone better. So pretty and sweet. So warm.

Decorate grave marker with stone manager. Irony sweet, too, but stone even better. Stone. Stoooooooone. Sssssssssss.

Hope helps,
