Graveside flower delivery in Ohio

A local Runner places a hand-crafted arrangement at any grave in Ohio 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

Ohio has three of the country's great cemeteries, Lake View in Cleveland, Spring Grove in Cincinnati and Green Lawn in Columbus, plus Dayton National Cemetery and Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, and county and church cemeteries in every township between.

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.

The Ohio 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.

Questions about Ohio deliveries

Do you deliver to any cemetery in Ohio?

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 Dayton 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 Ohio?

A silk arrangement lasts from the spring clean-up to the fall one, through heat and frost. Fresh flowers last days.

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.
