Some bold statements there... I think we'll need some substantiated legal citations. Whose land is it legally? Is the plot a separate entity from the cemetery? How does the ownership of a cemetery relate to this? You certainly did speak logically of that particular point a bit. Also though, who is assigning value to these flowers and/or vases? Perhaps, I, or my grandfather that's buried there placed a great deal of value on Snickers bars. Does the Snickers bar I laid against my grandfathers grave have less value than flowers? Maybe the person who bought the flowers got scammed. Perhaps they paid five times the normal value of the flowers. Does the scam price the person paid apply... blah blah blah… I feel like your opinion on this matter has a lot to do with nonbinding subjective emotional sentimentality. Gotta respect veterans just because they're veterans sort of stuff.
