Graveside Flowers at Greenlawn Memorial Park Northeast, Bakersfield
We deliver funeral flowers to Greenlawn Memorial Park Northeast, 3700 River Boulevard, Bakersfield, CA 93305. The memorial park shares its address with the funeral home on the same campus, so a service in the chapel and a committal at the plot can happen within the hour.
If the service is today or tomorrow, call (661) 588-7997. Tell us the name on the service and the time and we will tell you honestly whether we can make it.
What works outdoors at Greenlawn Memorial Park Northeast
Anything standing at a plot on River Boulevard is on open ground with no shade. An arrangement built for an air-conditioned viewing room starts to go over within the hour out there, so we build for the outdoors from the start — carnation, chrysanthemum, alstroemeria, gladioli, statice and heavy greenery rather than hydrangea, garden roses or anything with a soft petal.
- Casket saddle — sits directly on the casket, built low and secured so it travels. From $199.99.
- Standing spray on a weighted easel — still right for friends and coworkers. We use a heavier base outdoors. From $324.99.
- Wreath or cross — built tight, which is why they handle heat better than most. From $299.99.
- Cemetery vase arrangements — built for the cone or vase at the marker, so something stays after everyone leaves. From $89.99.
- Loose stems for mourners — a bundle of single stems so people can place one as they pass. It costs very little and families thank us for it more than anything else.

Timing for a graveside service
- 45 minutes to an hour before the service, not earlier. Left out longer in summer and you have paid for flowers nobody sees at their best.
- Tell us the plot or section if you have it. A large memorial park is a big place and a family name is not always enough to find the right spot.
- Some cemeteries take deliveries at the office and carry them out themselves. They are not consistent about it, so we ring ahead.
- For a morning service we build the afternoon before and keep it cold overnight.
Our same-day cutoff is 12pm. For anything tied to a graveside time, call the shop rather than ordering online — we will want the cemetery, the time and the family name before we start.
What happens to the flowers afterwards
Cemeteries clear graveside flowers after a set period and they are not consistent about how long. Most have rules about what may stay permanently at a marker, and many only allow flowers in the cemetery’s own vase or cone.
If the family wants to keep a piece, someone needs to take it with them when they leave. If you want something to remain at the marker, ask the office what they permit before you order it.
What it costs
Standing sprays for a service start at $324.99 and go up with size. Casket sprays start at $199.99, and arrangements for the family home start at $64.99. Tell us your budget and we will tell you what it actually buys before you commit to it.
The card message
“Thinking of you all” on a graveside card is plenty. It is usually read standing up, outdoors, by someone who is not in a state to read a paragraph.
