Based on information about this situation, regardless of state private property or trespassing laws, given the context of custom of putting flowers on a grave, by twisting the intent of a local garbage ordinance, the state is effectively abridging 1st Amendment freedom of speech applied to states through Section 1 of 14th Amendment imo.
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws [emphasis added]."

Insights welcome.

To: Amendment10

Not just flowers, wooden boxes with photos that would rot away.

!0 times and against cemetery rules.

How would you feel if some past ‘admirer of a deceased family member kept putting obnoxious items on that persons grave?
