interesting question....2 of the people closest to me do not have graves, but instead are scattered to the far reaches of the world...so I will plant flowers and leave flowers to them whereever I am.
I would do it at one grave in the military cemetery in San Antonio - my great grandfather, my father and my mother are all there.
I am sure it is very cozy for them all - I envision one of them "turning in their grave" and forcing the other two to do the same. (actually, their mortal remains are in urns, but it is a humorous image nonetheless.)
1. My Aunt Bet, we all needed more time to appreciate her wit and sense of humor.
2. My Grandmother, who lived a very long life, but didn't get to stay around long enough to pass her life stories on to me as an adult. Children & teenagers just don't understand the importance of life experiences.
3. My mother-in-law, whom I wish I had got to know better. I think she & I would have shared many interests.

I would leave flowers at my daughter's and father's graves. I've always felt that they watch over myself and Dawn (and now my grandkids).
1. My wife's Aunt Bobbie, whom I only met once but had a zest for life and deviant sense of humor that was readily apparent.
2. My Great Grandfather on my mother's side, Archibald McMillan, whom I never knew, but heard family stories about. Never went to school past the 8th grade, was taught telegraphy by a Civil War Telegraphy Officer while he worked as a Messenger Boy on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, in Wheeling, West Virginia. Worked for the B&O as a telegraph operator before coming to Pittsburgh in the late 1890s, to take a similar job for George Westinghouse. Eventually left and opened his own coal yard in the South End of Pittsburgh, delivering coal and coke to homes and business with the extremely politically incorrect slogan of "Our business may be black but we treat you white" and eventually ended up as one of those pillar of the community types serving on the Mt. Lebanon School Board and the Civic Board which among other things, banned the burning of coal in homes and most businesses that started the rennaisance of the city of Pittsburgh.
My Mom...who also lies with my Grandmother,Grandfather,
Great-Grandmother, and Uncle. It is a Family Plot. My Dad was cremated so I planted a small tree in his honor in my yard.I also planted a Rose bush in my Mom's honor.
THE PAST IS GONE, LEAVE IT THERE
OTHERWISE YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL
THOSE MEMORIES OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN.
I would leave them on my Mom's and Dad's and Brother's graves ... they are all right next to each other in a cemetary in Illinois.
