I have a question this week about honoring the dead.
Before my mother died, she used to order holiday decorations for placement on the graves of my grandparents and father. She claimed this was important to them (if not to her), and said that I should continue the tradition after she died, which she has since done.
The holiday decorations are quite expensive, and the tradition seems silly to me. My family are buried in another state hours away and I don't visit their graves. Both my grandparents and my father were the types who visited graves and decorated them, but I am not.
My question for your Ogham is, do they think that I should order holiday decorations for either my grandparents' and/or my father's graves? I think it's a waste of money, but I want to know what the Ogham have to say. Alternatively, is there something else I can do to honor my grandparents and father, if that is indeed important?
