Bell Gamgee’s grave was on property belonging to Bag End, in a beautiful spot where she had sometimes liked to sit and do her mending, near her husband and her Sam as they tended the gardens.

She herself had chosen this as her resting place with Mr Bilbo’s blessing, knowing her time was short. Her family kept her place lush with her favourite blossoms and roses climbed the shade trees alongside.

Years later Sam would sit and watch his own children at play near his mother’s grave and know that she watched them with him and shared in his joy.
