Leaving Flowers at a Monument


If you already know how Leaving Flowers works you can leave flowers now. (Be sure to make the subject line of your e-mail read: flowers for lastname_initials. If you don’t, we won’t know who they are for, and won’t be able to place them).

Many people who have visited the cemetery have left flowers, not for a specific person, but for all people in the cemetery. You can see these flowers here.

There is no charge for leaving flowers, but if you wish to make a donation, you may do so with a credit card by clicking on the PayPal link below (in American dollars on the left; Canadian dollars on the right).

When we visit a physical (real life) monument we take some comfort in being able to leave a token of our visit. Leaving Flowers provides a way for people to leave a remembrance of their visit to a monument in the World Wide Cemetery. People of different faiths sometimes leave a token other than flowers; for example, Jewish people leave stones at a gravesite. If you would like to leave something other than flowers feel free to say so in the Subject Header with a message such as "Stones for smith_jd in Virginia".

Because we receive so many flowers, we regret that we are unable to include all of them. We will do our best to include those from family members, and those others that are particularly poignant.

At the bottom of every monument are the links [Flowers] and [Visitors]. [Flowers] brings you to a send mail screen where you can write your name, and a brief message which we call flowers. You may write whatever you like, or nothing at all. Make the subject of your flowers message “flowers for lastname_initials”. When you are finished, your name, flowers message and the date will be recorded in the monument’s Visitors Leaving Flowers page. Presently, these pages are updated three times weekly.

To see who has left flowers at a monument, simply follow its [Visitors] link.
