New York has more graves than any state but California: Green-Wood in Brooklyn, Woodlawn in the Bronx, the vast Queens cemeteries, and upstate everything from Forest Lawn in Buffalo to village churchyards in the North Country. Calverton and Long Island National Cemeteries are among the busiest in the country, with more at Cypress Hills, Bath, Saratoga, Elmira and Pembroke.

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.

The New York 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 New York deliveries

Do you deliver to any cemetery in New York?

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 Bath 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 New York?

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.
