Does anyone on here know where you can buy the flags that you stick in the ground on a grave?
My grandmother used to do this and I never asked where she got them from. She passed on Thanksgiving and made me promise to never forget her or my grandfather's graves for holidays. Like I could forget....
Anyone who can point me in a good direction, I'll greatly appreciate it.

I agree with the suggestion to check with the local VFW or American Legion first. They may actually do a flag placement program around Memorial Day at the cemetery.
Personally, I've used Gates Flag and Banner out of Clifton and been quite satisfied. Here's a link to the type of flag they sell for grave markers.
Walmart carries the small flags around Memorial Day.
I checked Walmart and they only had the 4"X6" flags. Not what I'm looking for.
I never thought to contact a florist. I did find someone close to me that is a member of the VFW. Surprisingly, although my husband is a vet, he doesn't belong to either organization. I'm getting 2 from the VFW for my grandfather and his brother.
I don't want to take them from the VFW each time I want to put them on the graves. They do a lot with the vets graves and shouldn't have to give them out to people like me. I'd feel really bad if some vet's grave went unflagged because I just couldn't find them myself.
I will try the florists and I'm going to look at the name of the flag maker on the flags themselves when I get them today. Maybe I can order them directly? I'll find out.
I'm in Somerset County. Totowa is a bit of a hike, but thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you so much!! I just checked and the 8 x 12 is what I'm looking for. Too late for this holiday, but I will keep them in mind for the next. Do they let you order a couple at a time?

Sometimes Pathmark has them. Sometimes Kohl's has them too. Near 4th of July stock up on them.
