Where have all the (funeral) flowers gone?
In case you were wondering what happens to funeral flowers later, after the funeral’s over, I can tell you that I found a dumpster full of them in the back part of a local cemetery. And as I composed the shot, I caught a whiff of the sticky sweet smell that’s distinct to dying blossoms.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but flowers at funerals always smell different. MZ

They smell like sadness, tinged with the overly sweet smell of dying flowers.
