South Dakota's graves are in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, in the prairie cemeteries of the east and the Black Hills towns of the west, and in Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis, Hot Springs National and Fort Meade National. Wind is constant and winter is long.
Wind is the constant here, with hard winters and hot, dry summers. Every arrangement is hand-crafted in outdoor silk and placed so it stays put: seated in the vase, on a saddle, or staked against the stone. Cemeteries clear in spring before mowing and again in the fall. Our guide to cemetery flower rules explains how to check a specific cemetery's dates.
National cemeteries in South Dakota
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 →

What holds up, and when the grounds crews clear, in this climate.
Spring (April to May)
The spring clean-up comes in April. Deliveries placed after it stay through summer. Spring wind is strongest; low, compact arrangements hold best.
Summer (June to September)
Hot, dry and bright. Silk in lighter colors fades slowest in the sun; weekly mowing means flowers go in the vase or on the stone.
Fall (October to November)
Mums and harvest colors for Thanksgiving. Many cemeteries clear in late October before winter; deliver after.
Winter (December to March)
Snow, ice and wind. A saddle seated firmly on an upright stone stays put and visible; vases are stored. Silk does not mind the cold.

Send FlowersQuestions about South Dakota 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 seated in the vase or on a saddle lasts a full season through wind and sun. Fresh flowers last a day in summer.
A photo of the arrangement at the headstone is emailed to you after every delivery and added to the memorial page for the family.
