“Have you ever visited an Alabama cemetery on Decoration Day?

I can show you a rural Alabama cemetery where five generations of my family are buried that can get pretty tacky on the third Sunday in May which has been our Decoration Day for the past one hundred years.”

How does it look a week after?

It looks the same because they cannot afford to remove all of the flowers and decorations very often.   It is outside a small Methodist Church but the Church hasn't had any authority over the cemetery for a few decades.   About twenty years ago the low-life husband of one of the trustees absconded with all the funds and were never recovered.   Even the grave registrations had to be recreated from other sources.
