Re: At Catholic funerals when people--all at once--drop flowers onto a casket in a ditch, do they bring the flowers to funeral, or are they already there?

Thank you in advance.
I have never seen it. I would guess it is a local or ethnic
tradition.
Same here. Been Catholic all my life, and have been to many funerals,
but I've never seen this.
Oh. Do people lay a single flower or a few of them at a time on a
casket before it's put in a grave? I just researched this online real
quick and saw three or four photographs from different funerals of
people doing this. I gave some of the links below. I need to know for
a story I'm writing and I've written it wrong three times already (I
think?). In this link, I think they're taking them from a bucket?
In some communities, only the pall bearers place their lapel flower on the
casket. It's not a matter of "one way". People can do what they want.
