Remember the other day and a few of you were talking about the wreath that they used to put on the door when someone dies....well I tried to look it up, I could not find anything....so I called one florist in Brooklyn and the girl did not know what I was talking about....so I called McGoverns and the girl said they don't do that anymore but it was called a "Marker Wreath"...I couldn't find a picture anywhere.....
