Graveside flower delivery in Rhode Island
A local Runner places a hand-crafted arrangement at any grave in Rhode Island 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
Rhode Island's cemeteries include Swan Point in Providence, the North Burial Ground, the village burying grounds of the South County, and the Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Exeter. Nothing in the state is more than an hour from a Runner.
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 Rhode Island 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.

Send FlowersQuestions about Rhode Island 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.
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.
A photo of the arrangement at the headstone is emailed to you after every delivery and added to the memorial page for the family.
