TownfriendDonaldson’s Farm @ the greenhouses have beautiful blankets. I’ve purchased from them for several years.

The Man Also, the farm across the street from the Hackettstown Cemetary, next to the Miniature Golf Course.
Hackresident Swayze Inn Farm in Hope. Best wreaths, trees, and grave blankets. Actually priced less than others. And an extremely nice family run business.
GC I don't know about grave blankets but Weis has some nice wreaths and other decorations suitable for the graveside.
JBJKSJ Just go to Hometown Hardware, support the local business, they have a wide variety of grave blankets and more, prices are inline,
KMC Family Florist in Budd Lake. Linda does great work!! I go to her for all my floral needs. 973-347-6636

Tammi What is the grave blanket custom? Holidays? Seasonal? Just have never know much about it. Who cleans them up? Does it kill the grass?

Birdie It's for winter protection and decoration, particularly at Christmas/New Years. Usually made out of evergreens because that's what lasts during the cold months. Grass ans not much of a problem.
Who cleans them depends on the cemetery. Either the maintenance crew there or it's your responsibility if there is no caretaker. Same as any other flower arrangement or decoration you put there.
Nosila Thanks. Just never understood the tradition; my family plot is a state away and us family refugees just toast n sprinkle.
Have a funny right now in that one family plot has four slots; granny in slot two and somehow my weird Uncle put pop pop in slot four. First there were three sons, so what's up with the four slots? Two of the sons won't make it, they stayed local to other states. But.....where do you put sonny boy, the third son ---- slot one or slot three. One looks like pop pop is estranged; three just looks weird. Want to figure it out so I can donate one slot to the church. Think the family would like to share eternity with the disadvantaged... :>) Probably means that slot three it will be for sonny boy, we will make the stone correct and let history decide who is really in each slot.
"toast n sprinkle" - Do you write their names in the snow when you do that?? That is an image a I do not believe I can un-see....
SL geeez, very good GC. Just when I cut it short, you ask for more description :>). We toast the bodies into ash and then sprinkle the ash that was their bodies in a nice spot. This time, their favorite garden overlooking a lake.
We do what you are thinking about behind the garage some distance away and we don't sprinkle, we stream and I don't mean video (lest you ask for a download :>)
I got two more parents to go, can't keep em on the mantel forever --- where do you live? (kidding). These are going to their favorite spot in Hackettstown or maybe over the ocean where they met after the war. So think twice before sweeping that dust......
There will be no blankets.
