Default daffodill bulbs

I'm no gardener but have had the unfortunate task of tending my
father's grave. I planted some daff bulbs last autumn and had a
beautiful display but the flowers are now dying off. I shall soon be
re-planting with summer plants. Should I save the daff bulbs for next
year, or shoud they be discarded and buy new ones again in the autumn?


I planted some on my Mums grave near the S. coast years ago and they come up
year on year, I also planted some "Glory of the Snow" and after the first
clump got stolen they grew well but the over enthusiastic early strimming of
the grave by the workmen saw to them. They could see and miss the Daff
leaves but not those of the little bulbs.
No point in planting summer stuff due to the strimming.
