Graveside flower delivery in Colorado

A local Runner places a hand-crafted arrangement at any grave in Colorado and sends you the photo, wherever in the country you are.

  • Placed by local Runners
  • Any cemetery, all 50 states
  • A photo after every delivery

Colorado's graves sit at altitude, from Fairmount and Crown Hill in Denver to the mountain-town cemeteries of Leadville and Central City, and from Fort Logan National Cemetery in the metro to Pikes Peak National Cemetery in Colorado Springs. Snow can arrive in October and leave in May, which shapes what stays at a grave.

Altitude means snow can come early and stay late, with intense sun in between. Every arrangement is hand-crafted in outdoor silk, seated so wind cannot move it. Cemeteries clear in late spring once the ground is clear and again before the first snow. Our guide to cemetery flower rules explains how to check a specific cemetery's dates.

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

Spring (April to June)

The thaw comes late at altitude; most cemeteries clean up in May. Deliveries placed after it stay through the short summer.

Summer (July to September)

Bright, dry sun fades reds fastest; whites, yellows and blues hold. Flowers belong in the vase or on the stone during mowing season.

Fall (October)

Short. Mums and harvest colors go in early; many cemeteries clear before the first snow in late October.

Winter (November to April)

Long snow cover. A saddle on an upright stone or an evergreen arrangement against it stays visible above the drifts; vases are stored until spring.

Questions about Colorado deliveries

Do you deliver to any cemetery in Colorado?

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 Logan 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 Colorado?

A silk arrangement lasts the short summer and stands through snow if it is on the stone. High-altitude sun fades reds fastest; lighter colors hold.

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.
