View checking out the tulips and other flowers blooming. It is basically art, but not so different whether they're alive or dead. At least there's no URL or other overt marketing :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542931247957198888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-62743572119681301862012-03-22T14:38:29.894-07:002012-03-22T14:38:29.894-07:00I think it's great that they have taken the pr...I think it's great that they have taken the present to express their love and tributes to each other. I was surprised at the number of commentees who did not like the idea. The stones could always be taken down.

Not so sure that I agree with the concept of 'pre-need'. It is very much the funerary business in over-drive.<br /><br />Floyd Salas is in his 80s whereas Claire is in her 60s. I wonder if Floyd's advanced years were the prompt. The poetry is a bit soppy, and probably sloppy. Over here cemeteries are filled with reserved spots, with just a marker to indicate that the spot has been 'taken'. I feel that is forward-thinkng enough.<br /><br />Thanks for the post, Carolyn.
