Why is it tradition to lay a wreath on a grave?
i'm not sure but archaeology has suggested that even neanderthals placed flowers in/on the graves of dead members of their tribe - if so this is amazing!
Reply:Flowers help the soul get to heaven.
Reply:Brilliant question I have searched the net %26amp; cannot find an answer.
Reply:Because the owner can't get out to by one
Reply:I dunno but the remains of flowers have even been found in stone-age graves, so it goes back a long time.
Reply:because they are dead.
Reply:A wreath is circular and the leaves evergreen- both symbolise eternity and that the soul and memory of that person live on.
Reply:i am unsure. but wreathes and blankets (flowered) tend to be an east coast thing (usa) out west simple bouquets are more the norm
