I really don't understand why people visit graves. you are getting nothing more out of talking to a burial site than you are talking to a picture or to yourself in your living room.
Dude!!!

Get fricking real. Do you know anybody that drags their kids to a grave site once a month? That's borderline child abuse.
The idea that you know what is the best way for someone to grieve the loss of a loved one is comical. You enjoy taking the contrarian position on all kinds of topics but your shtick is played out.

The one cemetery I occasionally visit (and am booked to be planted in) is a country graveyard several miles outside a small town. A nice and peaceful spot between two mobile homes...

My mother believes in god and heaven. It was her father that died. I was 4 at the time of his death but went many times after that and it might not have been exactly once a month but her mother(my grandmother) accompanied her many times. I dont feel that I was abused by going. I feel she was trying to raise us to believe the same things she did. It didnt work out.
I havent been to a cemetary in over 20 years. Its a waste of time imo unless you own the cemetary, then its $$$$

There's nothing sadder than a cemetery filled with wilted dead flowers. After they've been in a couple of downpours and been blown around by the wind they start to look pretty trashy. The way you left them is not the way they will look by the end of the week.
They don't magically dispose of themselves. The cemetery is giving you the courtesy of a heads-up in case you want to retrieve the flowers before they clean up their grounds. Sounds like a well-run cemetery to me.

I don't know the legalities of it
It's obvious you have no fricking idea what you are talking about. I sit on a board for a cemetery. There are rules for headstones and everything pertaining to a plot and the grounds themselves. Tons of flowers around a grave means that the mowing crew has to get off the mowers and do something with your flowers. If they have to do that 50 times in one cutting, they charge the cemetery a shitton more. With that said, I throw them away on my own without calling the family because nobody knows any different. I'm only talking about the out of control stuff. One family places beer cans around the headstone and every month I throw their beer cans away. Mainly because it's trashy.

My local cemetery rules state that flowers must be removed after 2 weeks. I am sure yours has the specifics of your rights in the contract when you purchased.

Not to mention that if there are multiple people getting buried in the same day, chances are your loved one isnt buried in the plot they bought. Its one of the others because the people that bury the dead dont give a shite about who goes where.
Either you're a troll or one stupid sonofabitch.
I've watched my grandfather, two grandmothers, uncle and mother go from an open casket in church into the plot where they are most definitely buried now.

My guess is this is a " Perpetual Care" cemetery that only allows artificial flowers in vases on the headstone.
Sounds insensitive but those are the covenants agreed to when the plots were bought.
Stiil difficult to deal with when dealing with a departed loved one.

As shitty as it sounds, I would much rather them throw the flowers away and not call me about it at all.
At least this way I have the satisfaction that I paid my respect. When they call to tell you you now know that someone is going to frick with it.
I would just rather not know.

Well the Finklestein's and the Metzenbaum's must be counterintuitive.
I stop at Albertson's, grab a fabulous bouquet, stop by dear old dads rock to say hello, dust it off a bit and let him smell the roses.
Come back after lunch and the god damn Finklestein shite kid has moved my flowers to another plot.Every time.
Cost money you know.

Been a very long time. I have heard stories about people getting buried in the wrong plots, wrong boxes of the mausoleum etc. It could happen.
