Graveside Flowers at Greenlawn Memorial Park Southwest, Bakersfield
We deliver funeral flowers to Greenlawn Memorial Park Southwest, 2739 Panama Lane, Bakersfield, CA 93313. The funeral home and the memorial park share the Panama Lane site, so many families hold the service and the committal in the same visit.
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 Southwest
Panama Lane is open ground and it catches wind. We have watched sprays go over there on a perfectly ordinary spring afternoon. For a graveside we either weight the easel, build lower and wider, or steer you toward something that sits on the ground or on the lowering device rather than standing up.
- 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
Graveside flowers are cleared by the cemetery after a set period, and the rules on what may stay at a marker vary. Many memorial parks only allow flowers in their own vase or cone.
Ask the office what they permit before you order something you want to remain. We would rather you asked than had a piece removed the next day.
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
Keep it to one line. “With love, always” or “We will miss him” is enough for a card that will be read outdoors in a few seconds.
