Flowers offered to graves

I have a day off next week, so I'm thinking of going alone to my grandmother's grave, who passed away last year. I'd like to talk to my grandmother. Even now that I'm writing this way, I still can't stop crying for some reason. Maybe you still don't believe this time has come.

So I would like to ask you one question, what kind of flowers are good? Should I choose what I like at the flower shop? All of the flowers were lovely and kind, but please tell me if there are any flowers I should avoid in graves.

I always only went to graves with my family and relatives during memorial services and the equinox, so sorry for my ignorance. First of all, is it OK to go on an ordinary day that isn't a memorial service? Please let me know.

You can visit graves anytime. It seems that flowers with thorns (roses, etc.) are avoided as offering flowers. If you stop by a flower shop and tell them to visit graves, I think they will prepare something suitable for you.
It's a hot season, so please be careful of heatstroke when praying.

It's also a good thing to have a flower shop take care of it.

Good evening. My name is Kameyama Junshi.
Of course, you can choose the Buddha flower to be offered in front of the grave, but you can also look after it at the store. The staff at the store will choose the color while considering the colors, etc. At that time, what I told the store was ① (depending on the number of flower stands) 1 bunch or 2 bundles. ② How much is your budget? It's 2 points. If you're unsure about what price is good, you should ask the store about what price they often buy and use it as a reference. I think communicating with people at the store is part of visiting graves.
Also, you can visit graves at any time. Also, if you go to visit graves alone, you will be able to remember your grandmother quietly and slowly, and you will have a very good time.

These are my answers. I think Grandma will be very happy with Mafuyu visiting graves.

They are also sold at supermarkets

I think bouquets for graves are also sold at supermarkets.
It doesn't matter when you go to visit graves.
There are also people who come to pray almost every week.

Please avoid artificial flowers.

Because fresh flowers die quickly in summer
There are people who make artificial flowers
Please just stop that.
It is natural for living things to decay
That's because it's different from making a bad impression on the deceased.

Also, artificial flowers in summer
It might melt and stick to the tombstone.
