Flowers & Greenhouse Services
Lakewood’s beauty is both natural and meticulously maintained.
Our extraordinary commitment to our gardens and grounds is supported by one of the largest cemetery greenhouse operations in the country. Our staff grows and plants more than 95,000 flowers each season for the enjoyment of the community and the families of those memorialized here.
Order Floral Arrangements
Lakewood makes it easy to order a flower bouquet for you to place on your loved one’s grave, or we can place an arrangement for you.
Option 1:
Pre-order a bouquet for you to place on your loved one’s grave
If you are planning to visit Lakewood and would like to place a bouquet on a grave while you are here, our greenhouse will prepare the arrangement for you to pick up and place on the memorial yourself. To pre-order a bouquet for the day you plan to visit Lakewood, call us at (612) 822-2171 or send us a message via our contact form.
Option 2:
Order flowers to be placed by Lakewood on your loved one’s grave.
Our greenhouse offers fresh floral bouquets specifically for placement on memorial sites within the cemetery. We can place flowers for you one time, every year on the same day, or any customized recurring basis.
- One-time placement: If you’d like to order a single bouquet, you can order online or call us at (612) 822-2171
- Recurring orders: If you’d like Lakewood to place a bouquet on your loved one’s grave on a recurring schedule, call us at (612) 822-2171 or send us a message via our contact form
Memorial Tree Program
Lakewood’s tree canopy is one of the most beautiful aspects of our landscape. After recently losing ash trees to the emerald ash borer, we created a new Memorial Tree Program for families and our community to support us in developing and caring for our trees, including new opportunities to memorialize loved ones here at Lakewood.
Public Gardens
Our greenhouse staff plants dozens of formal flower beds and hundreds of urns each spring. Most beds feature the same flowers year after year—reflecting our commitment to tradition and history. In spring, red tulips are visible on either side of the front gate at the 36th Street entrance. In summer, Lakewood’s signature cannas decorate the entrance.
