Why can't you put flowers on a paupers grave?

Flowers are often not placed on paupers' graves because these graves are usually unmarked or marked with simple, inexpensive markers, making it difficult to identify individual plots. Additionally, paupers' graves are often located in areas that lack regular maintenance or visitation, which can lead to flowers wilting and becoming neglected. The ethos surrounding paupers' graves often emphasizes the lack of personal memorialization, reflecting the broader societal issues of poverty and anonymity in death.
