Something besides flowers to put at a young person's grave sight?

My son passed away tragically at eighteen years old. We visit his grave sight frequently. We are looking for some ideas to decorate his memorial. He was a very %26quot;alternative%26quot; guy. He aspired to be a tatoo artist. He was very in to alternative and hip hop music. And he was so funny! He was also very sweet and gentle. We bring flowers, but we are sick of them. He was so creative and full of fun, we want to find something else that is fitting. We have to be careful and %26quot;tasteful%26quot;, because this is a cemetery and we do not want to offend the other families with loved ones resting there. Whatever we come up with has to last at least for a little while outside. Any ideas? I know this is a strange question, but he was the light of my life, and made so many people so happy, and we really want to honor his life. And since he was just a week shy of his nineteenth birthday, we are looking for ideas befitting his youth and creativity. Thanks!!!

I suggest you start a website in his memory, with photographs, inspirational words, and a guest book. Then post the web address on his marker.

What about a small stone angel ? Or would that be too tacky ?


He was young, he was lovely......and he is %26quot;up there%26quot; now..
Reply:maybe be creative and MAKE some flowers or something else he cared about.... out of wire or clay im sure the creativity wouldnt offend anyone.... and if it did who cares. your son deserves the recognition and acceptance from you as do all others.
Reply:Ummm.. if you kept an MP3 player there playing his favourite music it would get stolen when you are not around.. how about putting small pictures and frames of his favourite artists around or making a bonquet of large leaves and drawing his tatooo designs on those.
Reply:My husband and I like to walk in the cemetery in our small town. Many of the gravesites are decorated with statues and pictures, favorite toys and belongings. We have even noticed a couple with small shallow bowls that have coins in them. We don%26#039;t know the meaning of this, but no one seems to bother anything left on the graves. I think you should put whatever has meaning to you and your son. I%26#039;m so sorry. There could be nothing worse than to lose your child.
Reply:Framed copies of his designs, or his favorite designs by other artists, would be nice; and they needn%26#039;t be expensive, so if they get stolen it wouldn%26#039;t matter. (Please don%26#039;t use copyrighted material; if it should get stolen, someone might make an illegal profit from it.) You could make up a few different ones and change them from time to time, just for variety. Be strong, be comforted.
Reply:i tink u shud put sumting there 2 show wat he was like. it doesnt hav 2 be big, or meen anyting 2 any1 else. if he had designd a tattoo u cud get a fotocopy of it n mayb put it there wit a poem or sumting. it wil b hard 2 find sumting strate away that shows enough so take ur time.
Reply:You could probably lay a couple of pictures of him and family.
