Graveside flower delivery in Minnesota
A local Runner places a hand-crafted arrangement at any grave in Minnesota 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
Minnesota has Lakewood in Minneapolis, one of the country's great cemeteries, and Fort Snelling National Cemetery, one of its largest. The Iron Range, the farm counties and the North Shore are full of Lutheran and Catholic churchyards. Winters are hard, and the delivery calendar is built around them.
Cold winters, hot summers and a mowing season that runs from April to October. Every arrangement is hand-crafted in outdoor silk so it survives both extremes. Most cemeteries clear decorations in early spring and again before winter. Our guide to cemetery flower rules explains how to check a specific cemetery's dates.

National cemeteries in Minnesota
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 Snelling National Cemetery
Minneapolis, MN
Artificial flowers may only be placed on graves from October 1 through April 1 because the wires from artificial flowers have caused damage to the mowing equipment, and pose a safety hazard to workers and visitors during mowing operations.

The Minnesota cemetery calendar
What holds up, and when the grounds crews clear, in this climate.
Spring (April to May)
The spring clean-up comes in April once the ground thaws. Easter, Mother's Day and Memorial Day deliveries placed after it stay through summer.
Summer (June to September)
Hot, humid and mowed weekly. Flowers belong in the vase or on the stone; lighter silk colors fade slowest in full sun.
Fall (October to November)
Mums and harvest colors for Thanksgiving. Many cemeteries clear in late October or November before snow; deliver after.
Winter (December to March)
Snow and hard freezes. Turning vases are stored; a saddle or an evergreen arrangement against the stone stays above the snow. Silk does not mind the cold.

Send FlowersQuestions about Minnesota 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 lasts from the spring clean-up to the fall one, through heat and frost. Fresh flowers last days.
A photo of the arrangement at the headstone is emailed to you after every delivery and added to the memorial page for the family.
