Graveside flower delivery in West Virginia
A local Runner places a hand-crafted arrangement at any grave in West Virginia 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
West Virginia's graves are in hillside cemeteries above the coal towns, in Spring Hill in Charleston, in family plots up every hollow, and in national cemeteries at Grafton and West Virginia National in Pruntytown. The state's children left for Ohio, Carolina and beyond; the graves stayed.
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.

The West Virginia 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.

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 lasts a season or more, through summer sun and winter freeze. Fresh flowers last days.
A photo of the arrangement at the headstone is emailed to you after every delivery and added to the memorial page for the family.
