Alaska's cemeteries are few, far apart and often reached by a long drive or a flight: Anchorage Memorial Park, Fairbanks, Juneau, Sitka's small national cemetery, and Fort Richardson National Cemetery on the base north of Anchorage. Most families with a grave here live in the Lower 48 now, which is exactly the distance BloomBridge was built for.

Winters are long and dark, summers are short and bright, and the ground is frozen for half the year. Every arrangement is hand-crafted in outdoor silk, and the calendar is built around the thaw. Our guide to cemetery flower rules explains how to check a specific cemetery's dates.

National cemeteries in Alaska

Fresh flowers are welcome at a national cemetery any day of the year. Each national cemetery sets its own dates for artificial (silk) flowers, shown below from its posted policy; your Runner follows them. Every national cemetery →

Fort Richardson National Cemetery

Fort Richardson, AK

Artificial flowers will be permitted on graves during the period of October 10 to April 15.

Sitka National Cemetery

Sitka, AK

Artificial flowers and potted plants will be permitted on graves during periods when their presence will not interfere with grounds maintenance.

Some cemeteries in Alaska where we have placed flowers

A few of the places our Runners have been. Each has its own page with the delivery photos. Any other cemetery in the state works the same way.

The Alaska cemetery calendar

What holds up, and when the grounds crews clear, in this climate.

Spring (May)

Break-up comes in May. Cemeteries clear winter decorations and open vases once the ground thaws; deliveries placed after that stay through summer.

Summer (June to August)

Long days and mild sun. The easiest season at the grave; silk holds its color well.

Fall (September to October)

Short. Harvest colors go in early; cemeteries clear before freeze-up in October.

Winter (November to April)

Deep snow. A saddle on an upright stone or an evergreen arrangement against it stays visible; vases are stored until spring. Runners deliver when roads and cemeteries are open.

Questions about Alaska deliveries

Do you deliver to any cemetery in Alaska?

Yes. City, county, church, private memorial parks and the veterans cemeteries. Give us the cemetery name and the name on the headstone; a Find a Grave link helps the Runner find the grave.

Can you place silk flowers at Fort Richardson National Cemetery?

In the permitted windows: roughly mid-October through mid-April and about ten days either side of Easter, Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Fresh flowers are welcome any day. Your Runner follows the posted dates.

How long do the flowers last in Alaska?

A silk arrangement lasts the whole summer and an evergreen one stands through winter on the stone.

Will I know the flowers were placed?

A photo of the arrangement at the headstone is emailed to you after every delivery and added to the memorial page for the family.
