Graveside flower delivery in Georgia

From Marietta National Cemetery to a Baptist church graveyard in Sparta, a local Runner places a hand-crafted arrangement at the grave and sends you the photo, wherever in the country you are.

Georgia has some of the oldest continuously used cemeteries in the South, and some of the most scattered families. Atlanta pulls people in from every county in the state and every state in the country, and the graves stay where they are: in Macon and Augusta, in Savannah's Laurel Grove and Bonaventure, in the church cemeteries of the middle counties, and in the two Veterans Affairs national cemeteries. BloomBridge Runners live across the state and place flowers at any of them.

Georgia's climate shapes what works. Summers are long and hot, which is why every arrangement is hand-crafted in outdoor silk rather than fresh-cut: it is still in place and still in color when the family visits at Thanksgiving. Most Georgia cemeteries do a spring clean-up in March before mowing season, and many clear again in early fall. Our guide to cemetery flower rules explains how to check a specific cemetery's dates.

Every delivery ends with a photo like these, sent to the family and kept on the memorial page.

National cemeteries in Georgia

Fresh flowers are welcome at a national cemetery any day of the year. Silk arrangements are placed in the permitted windows: the winter months and about ten days either side of Easter, Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Your Runner follows each cemetery's posted dates.

Georgia National Cemetery

Canton, GA

Opened in 2006 on the Etowah River north of Atlanta, the state's main active national cemetery. Flat markers with built-in turning vases; silk in the permitted windows.

Marietta National Cemetery

Marietta, GA

Established in 1866 and closed to new casketed burials, with upright marble headstones on a hillside above the square. Saddles sit well on the stones.

Andersonville National Cemetery

Andersonville, GA

Part of the Andersonville National Historic Site, run by the National Park Service, with its own floral policy. Fresh flowers year-round; ask the office about silk.

Some cemeteries in Georgia where we have placed flowers

A few of the places our Runners have been, each linking to a memorial page with the delivery photos. Any other cemetery in the state works the same way.

The Georgia cemetery calendar

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

Spring (March to May)

The spring clean-up lands in March at most Georgia cemeteries. Easter and Mother's Day deliveries placed after it stay for months. Pollen season coats everything yellow; a rinse restores a silk arrangement.

Summer (June to September)

The hardest season. Fresh flowers last a day; silk in yellows, whites and blues fades slowest in the sun. Weekly mowing means flowers belong in the vase or on the stone, never on the grass.

Fall (October to November)

The best-looking months in a Georgia cemetery. Mums and harvest colors for Thanksgiving; many cemeteries clear summer decorations in October, so deliver after.

Winter (December to February)

Mild, wet, rarely snowy. Holiday arrangements placed in early December hold through New Year; national cemeteries are inside their silk window all winter.

Questions about Georgia deliveries

Do you deliver to any cemetery in Georgia?

Yes. City, county, church, private memorial parks and the national 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 Georgia 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 Georgia heat?

A silk arrangement placed in June is still in place and in color in September, which fresh flowers cannot do. Lighter colors fade slowest in full sun.

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.
