Would poppies be a compromise at graveyard?

Having visited my grandad’s grave, which is on the old part of Clitheroe cemetery, I wonder, after the bad publicity which that part of the cemetery received, if we could come up with a solution that would not offend anyone.

How about a field full of red poppies among the grass? That would be a lasting tribute to all the soldiers and the rest of the people who are laid to rest there.

The cemetery is a credit to all who work there and a haven peace in busy stressed lives.
