Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My Mom passed away 3 years ago. My step-monster and I got into it back then and have not spoke to him - he had the house appraised and bought another while my Mom was still in ICU. Anyways, I was in FL visiting my bio-dad - went to the cemetary where Mom is and brought flowers to be placed on her nitch - was told I am banned from sending or placing flowers on her nitch per my step-monster. I live in Arkansas, what are the FL laws regarding this - do I have legal recourse. Thanking you in advance.

property owners will refuse to grant an easement or even access to legitimate descendants and relatives of a person buried in a cemetery . In such cases, it is best to refer the matter to a law enforcement agency such as the sheriff's office, or possibly to elected officials, and ask that a proper easement be provided as the law requires. Contact information for law enforcement agencies is maintained by the Florida Attorney General's Office, or you can check the front pages of your telephone directory. It helps to document your communication by following a telephone conversation with a letter.
