Flowers are a nice gift for Valentine's Day, unless of course you stole them from a grave.

Apparently this is a yearly issue at Greenwood Cemetery in Orlando, so Sexton Don Price took to Twitter yesterday to remind you freaks not to steal bouquets from the dead.

"Although they're beautiful, they come with some bad karma mojo," said Price.

Men: cemetery flowers do not make good Valentine's gifts tomorrow for your significant other. Although they are beautiful, they come with some bad karma mojo. Any flowers in the dumpster are free range...you dive for them, you keep them.

However, Price did say any flowers you can scrounge from the cemetery's dumpster are free for the taking, which is probably an awesome gift idea for any goth couples out there.

Goth: Where did you get these flowers, they're beautiful.
You: The bottom of a cemetery dumpster.
Goth: I love us.
