Wasn't sure where to put this but my FIL's grave needs some love and attention. Starting to look a bit unloved. Somebody suggested putting top soil on then put winter/ spring plants in. We have a flower holder under engraved stone. Just wants some tips & advice. Thanks.

If it's his own patch then I see many with gravel. Weed it if it's needs it and put down a membrane to stop further weeds and gravel on top. Then you can place flowers/ornaments/plants which can be replaced as and when.
My family only have the headstone type graves so we're limited like Tilly and Prudie says...but all ours have flags and plants/flowers by the headstone.

Also Patsy, the weather isn't always kind to fresh flowers. A nice silk flower arrangement lasts a while when fresh flowers wilt, so there's always flowers there. I've bought quite a few silk arrangements from ebay ( silk flower grave pot) Look for one described as (flat back) which means the back sits flush to the stone.
