MaryAnn, I think that is wonderful, but this is our situation. During the 1800's my great grandfather donated some of his land (he owned thousands of acres) for a church and cemetery. This is a rural area surrounded by farm lands. Since then it has been available for any of the locals for burials at no cost. Even though the old wood framed church was leveled by a hurricane during the eighties, locals continue to maintain the grounds at no cost. There is no "budget". We do it out of respect for those who have passed. Therefore we supply our own flags.
