My loved ones who have passed are not in that grave. They are in my heart. That grave only contains the shell that held their souls.

Creeps me out. I'll pray, but dead people, no thanks.

My family members have been cremated except my dad and the grave is too far away.

no, the people I mourn are forever with me, I talk to them, I honor them in my everyday life. The graves are for those who grieve differently than I

I probably should though

I myself do not however most of my family members make an event of it. I prefer to visit on my own.

Because It's Very Sad

I used to, and always decorated, but moved away from my hometown so no longer able to visit. I remember my grandmother calling it Decoration Day.

I don't because I know the souls of our loved ones were never buried with their earthly shell. However, I can understand why some people do.

My family graves are many states away.

My loved ones who served didn't die during their service. My husband served 20rs. & my Daddy served in WW ll. I used to visit his grave & put a flag on it, when I lived in the same state.

I have honored our fallen. I do not party on Memorial day. I do not visit graves because it saddens me to know how little respect our current generations have for those who gave everything.

I can't drive and they are to far away for me to get to otherwise.

I believe we should plant trees, not grave stones.

I usually do something to mark the occasion but currently live on the opposite side of the country from where most of my family is buried.
