  • Placed by local Runners
  • Any cemetery, all 50 states
  • A photo after every delivery

Pennsylvania has Laurel Hill and West Laurel Hill in Philadelphia, Allegheny in Pittsburgh, the church cemeteries of the Pennsylvania Dutch counties and the coal towns, and national cemeteries at Indiantown Gap, Washington Crossing, Philadelphia and the Alleghenies, with Gettysburg National Cemetery run by the Park Service.

Four real seasons, with snow most winters and hot, humid summers. Every arrangement is hand-crafted in outdoor silk so it survives both. Most cemeteries clear decorations in early spring before mowing and again in late fall. Our guide to cemetery flower rules explains how to check a specific cemetery's dates.

Some cemeteries in Pennsylvania where we have placed flowers

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 Pennsylvania cemetery calendar

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

Spring (March to May)

The spring clean-up comes in late March or April. Easter and Mother's Day deliveries placed after it stay through summer.

Summer (June to September)

Hot and humid, with weekly mowing. Flowers belong in the vase or on the stone; lighter silk colors fade slowest.

Fall (October to November)

Mums and harvest colors for Thanksgiving. Many cemeteries clear in November before leaf removal; deliver after.

Winter (December to February)

Snow and freeze-thaw. Turning vases are stored upside down; a saddle or a staked arrangement against the stone stays above the snow. Silk does not mind the cold.

Questions about Pennsylvania deliveries

Do you deliver to any cemetery in Pennsylvania?

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 Indiantown Gap 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 Pennsylvania?

A silk arrangement lasts a season or more, through summer sun and winter freeze. 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.
