What do you think about leaving flowers or stones at a gravesite?

Do you think you should follow tradition? Does it matter what you brought to the person in life?
I was on a facebook thread about leaving a stone when you visit the grave of a loved one, it’s a Jewish tradition, and one person said their father hated the tradition. His father would say, “I would not bring that person a stone when they were alive, I’m not going to when they are dead.”
Christians usually bring flowers, but do they bring flowers even to people they never would have bothered to in life? Do families pay to always have flowers on a grave when they didn’t pay for fresh flowers throughout the year when the person was alive?
What do you think about the various expectations and traditions?
