Fresh water for flowers

Violette Toussaint is the caretaker of a cemetery in a small town in France, where she makes the arrangements for funerals and religious services for the deceased and their family.  Her life is uneventful until a stranger appears and has an unusual request for dealing with the ashes of his dead mother. This sets off a series of events that peel back layers of Violette's former life, which are poignant and funny, and reveal mysteries and secrets that were perhaps best left buried.
