Massachusetts invented the American garden cemetery at Mount Auburn in Cambridge, and its towns are full of burying grounds that predate the Revolution. Forest Hills in Boston, the Cape's village cemeteries and the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne hold most of the state's recent burials.

Winters are long and snowy, summers are short and pleasant, and the ground is frozen from December into April. Every arrangement is hand-crafted in outdoor silk, and the delivery calendar is built around the thaw and the spring clean-up. Our guide to cemetery flower rules explains how to check a specific cemetery's dates.

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 Massachusetts cemetery calendar

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

Spring (April to May)

Cemeteries clear winter decorations and open the vases once the ground thaws, usually in April. Deliveries placed after the clean-up stay through summer.

Summer (June to September)

The easiest season here. Weekly mowing means flowers go in the vase or on the stone. Silk holds its color through the short summer with little fading.

Fall (October to November)

Mums and harvest colors before the leaves come down. Most cemeteries clear decorations in November ahead of snow; deliver after, or plan for the holiday arrangement.

Winter (December to March)

Snow cover for months. Vases are stored; a saddle on an upright stone or an evergreen arrangement against it stays visible above the snow. Some cemeteries close interior roads; Runners time deliveries around plowing.

Questions about Massachusetts deliveries

Do you deliver to any cemetery in Massachusetts?

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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts?

A silk arrangement lasts from the spring clean-up to the fall one, and an evergreen arrangement stands through the snow. Fresh flowers last days, and freeze in winter.

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.
