CUDAHY, Wis., May 21 (UPI) -- The director of a Cudahy, Wis., cemetery says middle-aged woman are taking flowers from graves to use in craft projects.
Butch Miller, director of cemetery operations at Holy Sepulcher Cemetery, said several women have been seen wandering the cemetery and taking flowers that were placed on graves by loved ones, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported Wednesday.
"They help themselves to the flowers they think we're throwing away," Miller said. "I ask them, 'Why would you want these flowers from a grave?' They say, 'Oh, we use them to make crafts and decorations.'"
Miller said the women take care not to disturb mourners or others at a cemetery while they perform their work.
"They're just extremely polite," he said.
