I saw a couple movies in the 90s where a person kills another then buries them and then plant flowers and their the best? Is this actually true or a movie trope?

I keep seeing commercials for Gross Pointe Garden Society it made me wonder.

80s, rather than 90s, and music, rather than film but R.E.M. have a song called The Flowers of Guatemala which mentions this practice, in relation to the military dictatorship there making 40,000 people disappear and putting flowerbeds in on top (or possibly just wild flowers growing there, I'm not sure)
Cheery stuff!
