Louisiana's cemeteries are unlike anywhere else: the above-ground tombs of New Orleans in Lafayette No. 1, Metairie and St. Louis cemeteries, the Acadian churchyards of the bayou parishes, and national cemeteries at Baton Rouge, Port Hudson, Zachary and Pineville. Flowers here go in tomb vases and on ledges as often as in the ground.
Summers are long, hot and humid, which is why every arrangement is hand-crafted in outdoor silk: it is still in place and still in color when the family visits at Thanksgiving. Most cemeteries here clear decorations before mowing season in March and often again in the fall. Our guide to cemetery flower rules explains how to check a specific cemetery's dates.
National cemeteries in Louisiana
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 →

The Louisiana 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 cemeteries. Easter and Mother's Day deliveries placed after it stay for months. Pollen coats everything for a few weeks; 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. Hurricane season can close coastal cemeteries for a few days.
Fall (October to November)
The best months at the grave. Mums and harvest colors for Thanksgiving; many cemeteries clear summer decorations in October, so deliver after.
Winter (December to February)
Mild and wet. Holiday arrangements placed in early December hold through New Year; national cemeteries are inside their silk window all winter.

Send FlowersQuestions about Louisiana deliveries
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.
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.
A silk arrangement placed in June is still in place and in color in September, which fresh flowers cannot do in this heat. Lighter colors fade slowest in full sun.
A photo of the arrangement at the headstone is emailed to you after every delivery and added to the memorial page for the family.
