Thank you for your kind response not2shygrrl and to you too, homoe,for your research.

For me, it is a simple ancient gesture to show that the gravesite was visited and the deceased is not forgotten. For some it is also a form of invitation to ask the deceased to come and spend some time with you.

A more traditional visit would have prevented the leaving of flowers but this is a more complex issue. Its reasoning is very interesting but I'll leave that research to you lol. Essentially it is based on the belief that we all leave this earth as we came to it and as equals .

So, "What am I doing today?" ...I'm thanking not2shygrrl and homoe for their kindness.
