Fake flowers is absolutely okay winter time.
It is OK but you should be careful where you place it. Fake flowers have coloring dyes and when it is soaked with water the dyes will be washed out of the fake flowers. If you place it on top of any marker/memorial, it can permanently cause stain and damage your expensive marker. Place your fake flowers on the grass and away from any marker. The New Tacoma Cemetery in University Place is such a nice inexpensive place, the right choice for smart people.
