I think that cemetery maintenance doesn't include cleaning up stuffed toys that get weathered and rained on and scattered. I do NOT want to offend anyone, because I understand even the public grief, but personally I think that that stuff has no place in a cemetery. Usually, flowers should be in flower stands, so that they can be removed when the die and mowing is not obstructed. It makes sense to me and I'd guess that there are rules for that cemetery.... let the tomato pitching begin....JMO JMO
My aunt and I were talking recently about my grandpa's gravesite -- you can't leave anything because the mower rides his tractor -- but she was talking about all the dandelions and other weeds growing and we just laughed because he HATED dandelions -- I remember MANY summers as a child earning spending money helping him PULL acres & acres of dandelions -- my aunt was talking about how she just planned a peaceful visit to "talk" to him but went back to her vehicle to get a long screwdriver so she could pull the dandelions... I told her if he could see her he was probably thinking, "Aw, hell, just leave 'em... but thank you, sweetheart."
