Im not sure about All Saints Day (we dont celebrate that here), but i would for my great grandmother and friend who are buried in the same cemetary Both loved to garden, and my friend (who was taken from this earth almost 2 years ago now) was just starting to get into orchids

Lovely thought, but no. All my deceased relatives and friends are buried in cemetaries in different states -- the closest being a 6-8hr drive one way. I won't be making the trip at all. Instead, I will say a prayer for them that day.

No way. My orchids don't get cut for anyone until the 1st bloom drops off. Then I give them to the 80yr old woman who lives next door. Beautiful cuttings are for living enjoyment. I buy plastic flowers for graves that way they last longer. When my friend died I planted a rose bush on her grave (with her parents permission of course). And when a pet dies I plant lilies over them.
